A Cab Ride on the RH&DR

On the 19th April 2008, I was lucky enough to have a cab ride on the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway. Here is all the video I took on the day, from No. 8 Hurricane's cab. Apologies for the sound quality in some places, as well as the 'finger of God'.

[dougal040]

I know one of the regular drivers, and he fixed it up for me. If you contact them, you can arrange for one. Simple as that!

That "stack talk" starting at 4:16 is delightful! Sounds like the line makes a bit of an upgrade there, but this engine is up to the task. The scaled-down firebox door and matching shovel are a treat. The RH&DR is such a manageable way for today's generations to experience the joys of steam. Thanks for posting.
