The perfect taster experience for 'big diesel enthusiasts' and it could make a lovely gift for a birthday or to celebrate a memorable occasion!
Only one lucky person on selected dates can join our diesel crew from an observer perspective for an approximately 1-hour long round trip.
The journey includes some arduous work by our vintage diesel locomotive including the 1 in 68 banks, and you will see everything from the driving-end and experience the sights and 'growl' of a vintage diesel!
Our expert and highly experienced driver and secondman will be pleased to answer your questions and show you various points of interest during the journey.
Please note that you will NOT be invited to touch any of the controls and you will NOT be driving the locomotive - this experience is to purely observe the diesel locomotive and crew in action whilst travelling with them in the cab.
