点评:I had a great Driver Experience Day with the crew and volunteers on this charming little railway. An early start (7 am) and a warm welcome. A safety brief and then an introduction to my steam locomotive for the day, 'Lord Fisher'. The crew couldn't have been more helpful. Hands on experience as we 'oiled round' with the loco 'over the pit' and an explanation of the controls. Then off for breakfast (bacon & sausage butties). Preparation complete, the moment I'd been looking forward too; driving 'Lord Fisher' up and down their branch line. The sound of this locomotive working hard pulling its train, the shrill of its whistle and the aroma of steam and hot oil will long-live in my memory. So happy that my family and friends could share my day too, travelling as passengers. A 'spin' on their turntable, with me winding the handles furiously and several more journeys later, I'd completed my Driver Experience....and what a wonderful day!!! Many thanks to all.
