Im 61 nnow, i still remember my dad letting me drive a dmu on the Central Wales line, passengers hadnt got a clue a 13yr old was driving lol. Not many trains you had to change gear manually. Wish i hadnt taken it all for granted back then. The cab rides over the Cambrian in the baby Sulzers or the 37s beat the dmu though. Didnt realise just how lucky i was. If only we could go back. Thanks Dad ❤👍
What brilliant memories! I did a diesel driving experience a while ago. It is on the channel. I got to drive a railcar with manual gears.. and a Class 31 too. You might enjoy that 😃 Thanks again and thanks for watching 👍
Haha. I need more training than that. Too old to start now! But it was nice to give it a go for one day. Thanks, as ever, for watching and saying such kind things about the videos 👍
It maybe seemed short on the video, but we were out on both trains for nearly 2 hours for each as I recall. So we all got a reasonable go in the driver's seat. And it was really fun even when you weren't driving.

Hi Johnny, on the 121 how long did you get driving each? It didn't seem very long!

@JohnnyHooverTravels I love 121s so maybe some time I'll give it a try
