"Cease your locomotion" John demanded.....and wih a shudder she obediently ground to a halt, the only sound being a slight hiss, and pitifull cries on the wind as the footplate crew tugged in despiration on levers and things.....

Still seem to recall you issuing stern commands to the engine.....amd, yes the Sudanese sun may be relevant!
