Preparing the fire and a run on the 9F between Sheringham and Weybourne on the North Norfolk Railway.

Thats some fast fireing! Joking aside, good video!

How in the world do you get to do such a thing. I live in the U.S. and that's pretty much the dream.

[@flightstationx]

Like how do you start with a heritage railway I'm 16 and obviously they wont let me on the footplate but even to just be around the locos would be awesome

Apply to become a cleaner at your local railway.

All drivers start off as cleaners . You will be around the locos learning how they work , after a while you'll be asked to train to be a fireman , and things then progress . Most railways will offer a " Footplate Exprience " where for several hundred pounds you will get a trip on the footplate . Best way though is go and volunteer . Some railways have accommodation available at reasonable rates and they would be pleased to see you . Whereabouts do you live ?
