Having hit a ...significant milestone of a birthday... I (Ben) indulged in a lifelong dream of driving a locomotive. In this case, Class 73 "City of Winchester" on the Cambrian Heritage Railway at Oswestry.
A thoroughly enjoyable morning pottering up and down in this lovely old machine. With a day job that's all high-end electronics and touch-screens, it was great to spend a day playing with something so decidedly analogue.
I took the opportunity for a few detail shots in the engine bay.
Again, proper, lovely old technology.
A last portrait of the loco- though I'm very tempted to come back and have another go! a big thanks to the railway and to the Vol, Phil, who did the instructing.
