Footplate Ride on Oliver Cromwell

[atomiccomp02]

What a fantastic Steam engine. My dad was the fireman on this engine for BR's last ever steam service the 15 guinea special.

Does the "Oliver" have an "all-weather" cab, doors on the sides?

Even in the rain this is a fantastic way to spend a day mate, thanks for sharing this video. The cabs on these machines are fantastic in bad weather, the Gas Works Railway men must have thought they had died and gone to heaven after working, or driving a Hall or Castle in reverse in bad weather.

I had a short footplate ride on 70013 about 30+ years ago when she was demonstrated in steam at Bressingham. Glad she is back on the main line now. Thanks for sharing your vid!
