    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 👍

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

      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.

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