Description
A pleasant surprise for myself. I booked myself onto the footplate experience to experience what it’s like to operate a steam locomotive.

The plan was for GWR Collett 1400 class 0-4-2T locomotive, 1450. On arrival 7812 Erlestoke Manor was in steam in the platform.

1450 had been subject to issues so a very welcome replacement of 7812 was my locomotive for 30 minutes.
