FDW 5 Day Course
Footplate Days & Ways are running another 5 day course at Isfield station from 14th to 18th October. There are still a couple of places available. Clive Groome will take you through 2 days on the theory of steam locomotive design before taking course attendees for 3 days of intensive on-the-footplate instruction. Preparation of the loco, lighting up, oiling up and cleaning. Emptying of the ashpan and smokebox. Learn how to buffer-up, couple-up, manage loose coupled and fitted freight and passenger rolling stock. Propelling as well as hauling, stopping on marks etc. Disposal of the loco at the end of the day.
This is a course for people who want to see what it was like to be a steam engineman. Call 01903 207587 to find out more and sign up.
