Explained: On the footplate of Northern Chief 

Great to see Chris on the footplate, explaining everything! 😃

Huge respect and admiration of all the RH&DR do !! Where else may one see Gresley style Pacific's at full chat with some 16 coaches behind. Excellent video Chris top marks for brilliant commentary. Long may it steam. Plus driver doing fireman duties as well. Magic ! TB1

You make the starting of an engine sound a bit like an F1 commentary which is a compliment

This video is awesome and I wish I could work on your great railway when I'm older

Loved it ,thank you.

Fantastic video, would love to see another on dr syn or hurricane.

The last thing I did with my father , spend a day on the rhdr . Dad was knackered but I could have stayed for a month .

Those drivers work hard for their living, and have to know the in's and out's of many types of train.

Wonderful video, I especially enjoyed the cab descriptions and operating descriptions, I noticed your description of the reverser, I assume the reverser also acts as a drift valve for decending grades? Wounderful loco handling by Steve nice and smooth Im always amazed at the control your boilers allow the engineer. Virtually no waste in black smoke. Thanks again!

wow its like a steam train but smaller. tumbs up.

Well done good driving there I'd probably do the same if I were a driver on the line which I will be in the future

Great video! Are all drivers volunteers?

Hello i have a question i am 14 and i have a cab ride ticket. I have been tolled that i can only ride in a diesel train but i am abit confused because on the ticket it says about safty on a steam locomotive and not a diesel locomotive. Do i get to ride in a steam locomotive or not?

Specifically you sound a bit like Murray Walker
