Hi might seem like a daft question. My husband more than likely has COPD (going to hospital Dec 17th) no earlier appoinment.  We are visting family for Christmas and have been invited to go on a Santa steam train on Christmas eve with the grandchildren.  Of course we would like to go and my husband in particular as he really likes steam trains.  I have said yes please but now have started thinking would the steam affect and smell affect his breathing.  Any one offer any opinion.

    That is excellent news! I am so pleased for you (and of course for him ... but maybe just a little touch of jealousy!).

    They do say that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and in his case the upbeat mood clearly says he's stronger so, a really, really good decision.

    Any pictures to follow?

    Have a great day!

      Thank you for your kind words.  The photos we took include another chap who was doing the experience so better not upload them here.
