FOTR - Two New Steam Engine Drivers Qualify!

Post by Kevin Wilson-Smith »

Congratulations to Tony Attwell and Gabor Kovacs (both FOTR members from Johannesburg) who passed out on today's Cullinan Run as fully fledged steam engine drivers.

For both, in excess of 5 years hard work has paid off!

It is also a pretty historic and notable occasion as opportunities for drivers to qualify in this area become more and more limited.

Well done Tony and Gabor! And much happy running in the future!

Well done, Gabbie and Tony~!! This is a proud moment for you both when all the hard work has paid off. I regret not being there on this occasion, but I am sure I will experience the joy and the pride of riding with you many, many times in the future.
