The driver eases Class 31 No. 31438 onto its coaching stock at North Weald Station, guided by station staff and his co-driver, during the Epping Ongar Railway's Diesel Gala on 27th April 2014. The driver was a fantastic ambassador for the railway, inviting me on-board earlier in the morning just to explain the loco's history, and included a fascinating insight into various aspects of its engineering. Further still, he made this photographer extremely happy when he suggested I stay on-board for the manoeuvres in and around North Weald, for which I remain incredibly grateful!
