Plot — What is Learning to Steam about?

Arfon spent a week on the Great Central Railway finding out everything a trainee footplate member needs to know.

Ex-BR Driver Bill Gwilt then takes over to explain how to oil and prepare the loco followed by how to drive. Arfon then takes the controls of Clun Castle in charge of a seven coach “express” running from Loughborough Central to Rothley. If you have ever wondered how a steam engine works or how they are maintained or driven, this best selling video is for you.
