We have an exciting and rare opportunity to drive and fire Ivatt Class 2 Number 41313 whilst it is visiting us from our friends at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway!
Ivatt 2MT tank engines would have been a regular sight along the Swanage Branch during the days of British Railways, so this Steam Footplate Experience gives you the chance to recreate a prototypical branch line service!
This experience is different to our standard offering because you can drive the entire trip between Swanage and Norden and back again, or if you would prefer to try your hand at firing the locomotive then the option is there. Participants will also receive a Swanage Railway goody bag which includes a certificate for your day and a Driver Experience mug.
Your experience will last approximately 60 minutes.
Per Person £395.00
