Sunday gave me a chance to have a go at driving the Motor Rail Simplex locomotive around the Fullers' railway. More complex than the Ruston - and more powerful and faster - it was a bigger challenge to get to grips with. The controls - handbrake, throttle, clutch pedal, reverser, and gearbox - were in different places and took some getting used to, but I got there in the end and made several circuits pulling fully loaded trains - before stalling it!
Roger explains the controls
I go for a ride to see how it's done
Success! Although no-one wanted to come for a ride on my first time around, I wonder why....
