    To say I'm green with envy that you were on the footplate of 'Sir Nigel Gresley' would be an understatement. I have driven a tank steam loco once over 20 years ago and it was a magic experience, my late dad was visiting me at the time I took him along and they let him drive it a short distance as well, he was like a dog with two tails, he never stopped smiling for the whole of his visit. Well done Matilda. These steam locomotives are living and breathing engines well captured in the video. To have a second steamer after was the icing on the cake.

    Another superb video from you both, thanks for getting out there and showing us these amazing scenes. The close up footage of Sir Nigel Gresley was so interesting. One thing I particularly love about these engines is the sound of the whistle, I believe they are called chime whistles, and more common to the USA than UK. Such an evocative sound!

    Thank you so much for that vid Matilda, Aren't they both wonderful locos, Sir Nigel Gresley is a superb loco, in the 1930s these locos were the fastest locomotives on the planet, and all British !!!. The right footplate crew and conditions they would run at over the 100 mph mark. I love his whistle tone, typically Gresley moan .I swear the Staniers whistle is a different tone, more high pitched and shrill, A Guardsmans shout. Keep up your great vids .

    Great of the support crew to answer your questions and let you on board - last time I was on Sir Nigel i was with my grandad and his brother just after grandad's 80th birthday party (charter a coach on an NYMR train) - his brother was a fireman then driver for various Edinburgh sheds, and his A4 was Bittern. Hope you get a chance to visit the NYMR when she's there, while the speed limit's 25, the 1 in 49 gradient gives her a good workout and you can safely get rather close. I was only taking stills on my phone on Saturday afternoon when she showered me in smuts as she opened up onto the climb! If I can get organised, i'll upload some videos and probably a collection of stills from the NYMR gala, but you'll probably get nicer footage from the NYMR footage channel as that chap is far more talented than I am!

    60014 Silver Link was not preserved at all in 1962 when it was withdrawn from service by British Railways. There was an attempt by Sir Billy Butlin who wanted to preserve Silver Link at his camp but the Eastern Region was not interested in preserving it. As a result, none of the four Silver Jubilee engines survived the end of steam. Neither 60015 Quicksilver, 60016 Silver King or 60017 Silver Fox were preserved. 60015 Quicksilver and 60017 Silver Fox were withdrawn from service in 1963 and the last Silver Jubilee engine that was withdrawn from service in 1965 was 60016 Silver King.

    Matilda, which station were you at when you started the video? I’ve listened several times but can’t make it out.
    Would you want to drive a steam train? Many preserved railways offer both steam and Diesel driver experience days. I’m not sure of the minimum age, nor how old you are now, but if you’re not quite old enough yet you could use the time to save up for it.
    Alternatively, you could volunteer at a preserved railway as a cleaner and then progress through the grades of passed cleanner,
