    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.

    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

    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!

    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.
