Steam railways are often run by armies of volunteers, but some people can be paid for it!
Today we're talking to Will Stratford, who has been working on the Ffestiniog and Welsh Highland Railways (often branded as 'best railway in the world') on his day-to-day experiences.
Footage for this episode was kindly supplied by Will, please check out his channel here.
