How'd you score the cab ride?

As we were on a Railway Touring Company trip, it was just a case of asking if it was possible to get a cab ride, they normally try to arrange it....some sort of gift to the driver/fireman at the end always goes down well.

Yep. I agree. Amazing that they can use such small coal. No way could a British locomotive steam on that stuff!
