If your interest is in steam or diesel or electric
railways (railroads) then this is a website home page for you. There
are no flashy graphics and logos no animated gifs no attempts to look
cool or be something it isn't. Just good solid information for the
average railway nut (just like me!). How to drive a railway
locomotive is just that!! Hopefully it will give some of you armchair
drivers and railway (railroad) modellers, model and miniature
builders out there, an insight into how the real thing works and
maybe, just maybe enough of a push to go looking for opportunities to
drive for real; check out our links page for
that if you want! Nuff said.........

In The
Beginning
So on with the important stuff ! First of all I make no claim that
this site will teach you to drive a train. You can't learn that by
reading things. You need to get out and do it! there are plenty of
opportunities in the railway preservation, historical society and
private railway world for you to do it as a hobby if you really want
to (or as a job if you are so inclined), as we said above,
check out our links page for that one. I
also have to say that any fool who decides to go and borrow a train
after reading this, deserves all of the grief and any jail sentence
that he gets for doing it!!!. There have been a couple of cases of
this sort of stupidity in the last twenty or so years. Fortunately
nobody has yet been killed by these idiots (I accept no
responsibility for your stupidity if you do it!!).
