So how old do you have to be to drive on the RHDR? I know you definatly have to be over 18 , it doesnt bother me volunteering i mean at the end of the day your driving a real steam locomotive =)
I have a model one in 3 1/2 gauge

@Gotthard68 - You would look very cool with groves!!! lol

@TrainAsia not necessarily: I'm a fireman on narrow-gauge in Switzerland, and I fire without gloves...it depends on how hot are the controls you're handling! a rag is sufficient

Engineer should wear groves .................

@cornholio435 Well you can always do a "Driver Experience" day. But you are young enough and near enough to get involved yourself and work towards becoming a driver. I would encourage anyone with a vague interest to - no matter where they live. Like Terence from Switzerland has done!

Great video!! Do you know the avarage speed for a passenger trains on this line?

@trainsss 25 mph is the maximum speed limit. The timetable is designed to supposedly not need to travel any more than 20 mph as the track condition is not at its best in places. However this is not really feasible much of the time (if trying to keep up with the timetable). The line is 14 miles from one end to the other and takes about 1 hour stopping at the stations so the average is about 15 mph.
