Great, did this earlier this year, didn’t think it would be that good being a diesel (as opposed to steam) but it was very good, and even though it only goes about 25-30mph when you’re in charge of a few hundred tonnes of loco it sure feels faster!
Did this on the Wensleydale Railway’s Driver Experience. Great instructor, used to drive Steam and Diesel trains and really knew his stuff.
Plus – you get to peep the horn!
