Firing up an oil burning steam locomotive! | R766

R766 being fired up from cold at Dungog. The fireman was a really nice bloke who was very allowing and even gave me a rundown of the backhead fittings!! The Picnic Train staff had disabled the fire on the engine to conserve fuel but, as they were about 15-20 minutes from departure, they decided to turn her back on. Sorry about the rather crap video work, there was like five people in the cabin!

Do you volunteer ?

@@Bucko15 I wish I did! Unfortunately I'm too young at the moment to get my hands dirty, but the day I turn 17 is the day I sign up! Thanks for tuning in, DP ☺️

Oh ok cool. I also would like to volunteer but I am also too young I have emailed them with some questions and I can’t wait till I am 17😁

[@Bucko15]

There is a chance we may be put in the job together one day.

@@Bucko15 Hmm, one can only imagine! ☺️
