Very well done to Harvey, who passed his fireman’s assessment yesterday and joins our steam footplate crew roster. He’s seen here receiving his certificate from footplate inspector and MPD team leader Andy (right) and longstanding steam and diesel driver Nigel (left).

It’s fantastic to see our team growing and mastering the traditional skills of things like locomotive operation and maintenance. Passing knowledge on in this way has been done for generations on the railway and safeguards these specialist heritage skills for years to come. In the future it will be Harvey’s turn to show others the job.

Why not start your volunteering journey with us on our fantastic 10 mile heritage railway through the beautiful Dee Valley?
