Looking to treat someone to something truly unforgettable? This is no ordinary gift — it’s a first-class ticket to take the controls of a mighty Type 3 or Type 4 diesel locomotive, depending on location, and enjoy a luxurious, behind-the-scenes experience on a scenic railway.
After a warm welcome and safety briefing from the friendly railway crew, they’ll climb aboard the footplate, feel the rumble beneath them, and set off along a stunning 8 mile stretch of countryside – driving the train themselves for around 60 exhilarating minutes.
