Bro and Sis got me a ride on the plate of a train ie where you are on the engine itself.
The event all took place on the Watercress line. Took some video and this is available on YouTube
Initial trouble though occured when I forgot to read the instructions. No trainers allowed, so borrowed Michaels posh shoes. Well dont want to get my old trainers dirty!!
Anyway if any one else is thinking this might be fun (to ride on the engine itself) I would go sooner rather than later. It turns out that the Nanny state is about to try and stop these rides (form filling and hesath and safety etc).
While we were there, a spitfire and Lancaster plane few by. Sorry the zoom on the camera was not good enough really.
The Bus rally was also worth going to. So all in all, if you want a fun day out, try the watercress line
