I cannot believe what I have just found & read. The video you posted of Sir Nigel Gresley was an option to drive back in the 90s and I didn’t do it !
I am now annoyed at myself and decided with so little time left, I’m not going to make stupid decisions like “I’ll do it another time or next year “ or put things off.
B*ll*cks, MM

Did a few train driving days in my 20s and early thirties but came across this a few days ago whilst getting rid of papers……

PS Even my wife loves a steam train , been on the footplate of the Flying Scotsman and suggested after a recent to programme that we should go to the National Railway Museum this summer.

Not really a train person (though do have fond memories of hanging over bridges as a kid to get the blast of steam and that particular locomitive smell of sulphurous wet smoke in the face as the, still regular, steam engines went under) however, I'd heartily recommend the National Rail Museum ... really interesting ..... and a must for anyone remotely interested in 'engineery things' ... Mrs Image had to be dragged out! 🙂
