Join the drivers and firemen aboard the Great Western engines for live footplate action sequences as you've never seen before. A team of Great Western enginemen from the days of steam are reunited with their engines.
We start on the footplate of the Rocket, before moving forward exactly a hundred years to the GWR pannier tanks in order to discover how little had changed since Stephenson's day. We then ride on a Dukedog, a throwback to the Victorian era, and find out (with the help of a slippery tunnel) the limitations of low adhesion weight and the 4-4-0 wheel arrangement.
Then it's onto Churchward engines, forerunners of the Halls, plus 2-6-2 Prairie Tanks and 2-8-0 freight engines in both tender and tank form, and a surviving Mogul at work.
Locomotive's featured in the video include both original and modified halls, 1400's, 5700's dukedogs, 2800's & 2884's plus many other engines.
