As I sit in my lovely and plush train seat, I gaze out the window... at the moment the train is moving in and out of tunnels and moving quite fast, so most of it passes by in a blur. Though every so often I think I glimpse an airship in the distance.... could it be the Tiny Bubble?!
--> Yes, Freda. It is the Tiny Bubble. Jane and Jade are back on their airship and will meet us in London.

When I look out the window I see an airship being overtaken by pirates.
--> Pirates!?!
The Devonian Express rounds a bend and enters a mountainside tunnel...
============train tip============
The Observation car almost always operated as the last car in a passenger train. Its interior could include features of a coach, lounge, diner, or sleeper. The main spotting feature was at the tail end of the car - the walls of the car usually were curved together to form a large U shape, and larger windows were installed all around the end of the car.
Before these cars were built with steel walls, the observation end of heavyweight cars resembled a roofed porch area; larger windows were installed at the observation end on these cars as well. At this end of the car, there was almost always a lounge where passengers could enjoy the view as they watch the track rapidly recede into the distance.
