On the footplate of an Ivatt!

Specialist Luke Thomas was at the East Somerset Railway today where he spent the day driving and firing the Ivatt Class 2 2-6-0 no. 46447. It was an early start for Luke who climbed onto the footplate at 8.30am and was soon running the locomotive 'light' a long the entire route. He then did some fireman duties before taking the controls again and hauling four coaches for the full five miles. An experience to be remembered!

Many Thanks & we will keep you posted
