When you were going uphill and all. That was exactly the reason why American steam trains utilize automatic coal augers to feed coal into the boiler at a constant supply

I did it over twenty years ago at the age of 17 one of the best days of my life
I'd love to do this one day so that I can experience what my grandad did. Never got to meet him as he died before I was born but he was a driver through from steam to the electric age of trains. Thanks for sharing!
I just found out something about this train! It was actually saved from Barry scrapyard I saw the number 92212 on it (the one in the video) and I’m glad it got rescued by passionate enthusiasts who were will to preserve these magnificent engines

Why, yes, you’re correct. It was a little naive of me to call it a “train” when it requires carriages or wagons to be a train. Apologies for that small error, as at that time, my knowledge of steam locomotives was rather limited at the time.
You look so happy driving the 9F, We're glad to have made this your lucky day. And we will keep on cheering you my friend
That is one of the coolest things I've ever seen someone do
Incredible experience on my favourite steam engine. Well done and thanks so much for sharing!👍🇦🇺😎
17:40 AHAHAAAHAHA X'DD i love that guy wtf XDDD anyway. x'3 i love the genuinity in this, it makes great 'company'... i hope the rest of the videos are like that ^^

Thank you for sharing this. It must have been a fun super day. A piece of special history to remember. Best Wishes Robert. :)
Must have been the drive of a lifetime for you :) Glad you were able to do something like this
This is awesome man! I'm so happy you got to fulfill your dream, and this is an awesome video. A 9F is certainly a big loco to drive, and you must have felt so alive. Great video, and super happy you got to do this! Edit: Yeah, the one problem with having to drive one of these things is that it is constant shoveling and shoveling (:P
What a fantastic, half an hour, enjoying your dream with your own. Well done. Well presented.
Is it just me or is he doing this introduction of the train and getting into the train like Jeremy Clarkson
If I Had A Penny Everytime You Shoveled Coal I'd Be Rich XD
Love the way you distribute the coal in the firebox!
Watching you shovel reminds me how much I appreciate oil-fired engines.
The fireman at 17:39 hahaha class
You're a natural! Well done my friend, this is effectively my dream experience! By the way the fireman instructor was so funny 😂 17:36 funny fireman and brilliant whistle blast!
I can't stop watching this video as it's so addicting
I saw a Union Pacific 844 IRL and got a cab tour. It was amazing.
This was the best video of a train i have ever seen
Lovely video and loco. This is the loco that pulled my train on the Bluebell Railway in 2013

wow cool!! i took a cab ride in Southern Railway 630 at the Tennesee Valleyy RR museum, and i slipped and almost fell in the open firebox... but the engineer caught me
you are a very kind person!
The smart thing about steam locomotives from America is that they had a pedal for the fire box door so they could open and close quite easily

Great video, glad you had a great time!
So far Ive been on Oliver Cromwell's footplate while it took the dining train on 7th July. It was a surprise by the volunteers for me. :D And while visiting her on the day of her 10th birthday, Tornado while she was at NVR. beautiful locos indeed. Once been on Flying Scotsman, hopefully next month September, my year is complete. :D
You got to do things that are on my bucket list
I came across this by accident but you know, I found it a great video.
To be early is to be on time to be on time is to be late to be late is to be left. This is what my band teacher says when it is marching band season and you did this a day before my 18th birthday
Bro that face that man made made me laugh so hard
You need to do this more! I think this awesome and I wasn't even there!
amazing Oliver (hope you don't mind my calling you that) I really enjoyed this video and can see that you enjoyed it very much- well done
Wow awsome driving!
I love how the fireman was making faces the whole time
Damn. You drove a steamer. Good god damn job dude
Congrats lazerjet you are really lucky to have such a experience like that oh and i just went to the georgetown loop railroad in georgetown colorado and so you're not the only one with such an experience:D #Subscriber
Congratulations on being fireman of the BR 92212 for a run out and back!
very good video. been to poland a couple of times driving and firing steamers on public services. 70kph and shovelling as fast and hard as you can, and in the dark. when the pro does it it looks easy but OMG its hard work, coal all over the floor. the driver cursing. trying to remember the injectors (more finicky than BR ones) and the blower and the blow down. driving is easy in comparison. no wonder firemen were the younger and drivers ex-firemen. driving through a fresh snowfield was the highlight. magical
You were flawless driving a 9F!
Amazing! Soooooooooo jealous right now, I'd love to do this! :0

my dad owns two class 50s and having footplate rides and sometimes even driving in the yards is amazingly fun
Last time I saw this locomotive it was getting new wheels, nice to see it going again.
dang the br standard class 9f is my favorite steam train
Brilliant ! I am sure you loved it

Murdoch! Glad to see you
Awesome Oliver!
Can you do a race against the 9f Southern Pacific 4449 big boy and the Flying Scotsman I think that would make a great race
Fair play ! Well done
Nice fireman work
I guess the railway went "Go Big or Go Home" when picking the engine for the footplate experience! 13:56 a middle ground between the two would be a steam-powered traction engine (steam tractor)! An American 2-10-0 steam locomotive has small drive wheels and is rather short in length, but it is tall!
This is a great video
That is amazing
Very nice!

Hey this was filmed on my birthday cool
Lovely video....
Wow, it really WAS a torture! I hope your hands are now okay Oliver! And by torture, I mean the shovelling.
Black 5's are brilliant engines and id love to be able to have a go at firing one one day if I grab the opportunity but id love to work on a Jubilee even more as they're my fav class of LMS engine. It's just too bad though that with the 9F's they're barred from running on the mainline thanks to their centre driving wheelset being flangeless and fears that it might derail on points when they havent even looked it up to see if it would happen. Iv had a go on a couple of industrial tank engines as a trainee fireman.
Awesomeness
U ARE THE BEST KZreadR EVER
On an express hauled by a steam locomotive the fireman shovels around a ton of coal for every 50 miles. But the driver did help out!
8:53 Thomas is that you
This is the coolest shit you've done so far gg
