180 smackers and two days, and you'll know everything you need to know to become a steam traction operator. 
I love it when a Plan B comes together!

My brother-in-law has a traction engine - an Aveling and Porter called Maud Foster.

Yesterday there was a steam special from Manchester to Scarborough which passed through close to his home. He planned that his traction engine would be filmed with the loco (Leander) in the background.

Here's the video:
