As its Saturday I thought a change of track might be an idea. Not too difficult but worth looking at because the history is very interesting:

Tina Turner employed to sing the wierdest backing vocals ever on the track, which has some fantastic guitar in it, mad lyrics, and a certain je ne sais quoi, and strangely memorable so that when I saw your train was in Havre Montana that phrase from the song just sprang to mind immediately :-D

So how did you end up in Montana....surely not a Thomas Cook package!

No not a Thomas Cook job! We had a "big" holiday in 2017, flew to Chicago for a couple of days and then took the train to Seattle going through Montana en route, then took a cruise from Seattle up the Alaskan coast calling at Juneau and Icy Straight Point, Victoria, and back to Seattle. Then we flew home via Newark with 18 minutes to change flights, that was hairy!! Fantastic holiday and I wrote up a full account with pics, put it on lots of memory sticks and gave them out to all our friends, saved us endlessly repeating the same stuff every time we met someone new!! :-D If anybody is finding it hard to get to sleep let me know and I'll send you a copy!! :-D :-D

Here's an easy one for the ship lovers, definitely not an aircraft carrier, but can you name it and post the right track on the jukebox for 50 points? :)

I think you may be seeing double there James :-D , it is in fact a 4-8-4 from the Northern Railway USA. A good description can be found in the spoiler if you want to take the quick answer :-D

I'll give it a go Mick as I drink my five hop lager shandy and eat my toast. I enjoy a delve. Song for the PE Jukebox? Straight away thought of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot, but plainly it aint that.

Time to roll the sleeves up!

Jacques-Yves Cousteau! Haven't thought about him for ages! Off to the PE Jukebox with loads of tracks to choose from but was it the theme tune from his tv escapades you were thinking of.

You're almost there, no not the theme, the question for the jukebox track was can you name the boat?
