Probably the first job that comes to mind when picturing a steam railway is an engine driver, and volunteering with SRC can make this a reality!
But before you can jump on the footplate there's a lot to learn. When you join the loco dept. you'll be helping with general loco maintenance, overhauls and general engine cleaning, time and again this has been shown to be the best way to learn the workings of an engine. It may seem daunting, but it's an incredibly rewarding experience as all our loco crew will tell you.
