The obvious delight on the fireman’s face in what is doing. Wonderful

Great video! This is something I’d absolutely love to do!

Lucky dog! That's awesome riding on that line on the footplate. I'd probably trade my soul just about for that!! You had the 2nd best seat in the house. It would've only gotten better if you got a chance to run on the left side the best seat! Thanks for sharing it!

Good video of the Highlands. Was it hot in the cab?

What was the steam locomotive's number? I presume it was a Black 5

Hi James, the engine was 44871 and yes it was hot in there and it was a very warm day. Stuart.

Great video. How did you get onto the footplate?

Hi Aidan, sorry only just got back to you , in answer to your question I got on the footplate due to the fireman being my son, he's got me on the footplate a number of times in the past but since the Wooten Basset incident there's been a tightening up of who's allowed on the engine and unfortunately I'm not one of them.

@@pistonvalve how do you get into it as interested to do mainline footplate?

Wonderful. But that shovel looks like a man-killer!
