Nothing beats the sound, smell and power of a steam locomotive in full cry. Drive one of a steam engine on one of the country's most steeply graded lines and find out exactly what these beauties were built for. Begin with a cup of tea followed by a safety briefing. Then, climb up onto the footplate to fire and drive one of the larger locomotives over a breathtaking 20 miles of railway through the Hampshire countryside. Haul a full train of carriages for the entire length of the line, enjoying 10 miles as driver and 10 miles as fireman. And to keep make sure you're fuelled, lunch is included. This is the ultimate footplate experience for steam train enthusiasts. Bring along three guests, to travel in a carriage free of charge and share the ride
