It's time for a celebrity special! To round off our first series of 'Working On It' we are joined by world-famous voiceover artist Peter Dickson a.k.a. Voiceover Man, as he is thrown in at the deep end to find out what life is like as a fireman. Spoilers: it's harder than you may think! Join us as we round off the year with this bumper episode on just one of the many volunteer roles we have here at the Watercress Line!

I have to say, this is one of the best videos I've seen on KZfaq showing the role of the fireman on the footplate and during pre-tip tasks! Explaining parts of the locomotives very well with great videography to go with it. Connecting the dots between one task and what to consider next. This video is great for those who want to get a better idea of how these machines actually work. Very well done!

What a wonderful explanation and narration. I think thats the best and most realistic video of what volunteers do on many heritage railways around the country. Well done!

Another well done video. Having visited there from the states, I can say it is a well run organization with talented people. I myself having worked in steam preservation for decades, and I can assure you it’s also a busy cab / footplate with oil fired locos. Oh, and if you see a oil fired engine with black smoke, the fireman is not doing his job. Just like coal you want to have a light gray haze to clear.

That was fantastic. 10 out of 10 for Voiceover man. This has got to be the most informative video of the day of a fireman I have ever watched. Total respect to you guys and the hard work you do.

This has to be one of the best films the film unit have produced. Entertaining and informative at the same time. My dad was a passed fireman at the Longmoor Military Railway during his National Service and it amazes me that they had just 12 weeks to learn all that and how to drive as well.

Thanks for the video. Being a fireman is way more than I thought of just shovelling coal in a hole.

What a beautifully paced and narrated video. No disrespect to the normal output which is excellent but the difference of using a 'voice' professional to script and commentate has produced something special. Brilliant. Well done all of you.

As someone who's recently started their footplate journey this year, this is a fantastic insight into the work and dedication that goes into the running of these superb machines. A wonderful video!

What an excellent video, really enjoyed that - great early Christmas present! I do hope a secure long term source of useable coal can be found to indeed keep these magnificent machines working to show those 'future generations'. Merry Christmas and a Happy, peaceful and safe New Year to all at the Watercress - can't wait to visit again in 2024!

In days gone by, a separate steam raiser would be employed before the driver and fireman booked on.

Brilliant. I really enjoyed this video. As another commenter wrote you don't realised the work involved. I rode on the steam illumination train over Xmas and enjoyed "Voiceover Man" and the lights.

This was fabulous! An authentic insight to the skill and grueling work required to fire a locomotive. Preserving living history demands the same level of work as the original it represents. Thanks to each of you for the effort it took to produce this video.

Just a Note, Having watched a guy (Hyce) that works in the USA on steam locomotives, If the smoke is always pitch black, that is a sign of a bad fireman wasting fuel.

Would it be possible to have a 'heritage'/museum pit opened for production for heritage steam purposes? Given the price of the coal, it may actually turn a wee profit at a half/third of the current price!
