Steam train in Reading

Unless I was hallucinating, I just saw a bloody great steam train going alongside the A329M between Reading and Winnersh, with a load of passenger compartments. Looked and sounded amazing, even from in my car!

They are used quite often. My wife & I took the orient express pulled by the flying scotsman about a year ago.

Seen a steam train at Reading a couple of times - last time I was on another train and a little lad in the carriage pointed it out and shouted "Thomas"!
