60 Minute Diesel Locomotive Drive

Looking to treat someone to something truly unforgettable? This is no ordinary gift — it’s a first-class ticket to take the controls of a mighty Type 4 diesel locomotive and enjoy a luxurious, behind-the-scenes experience on the scenic Chinnor & Princes Risborough Railway.

After a warm welcome and safety briefing from the friendly railway crew, they’ll climb aboard the footplate, feel the rumble of 2,500 bhp beneath them, and set off along a stunning 8 mile stretch of countryside – driving the train themselves for around 60 exhilarating minutes.

It’s an exclusive chance to relive the golden age of British rail in style, with expert guidance and jaw-dropping views all the way. Whether they’re a lifelong railway buff or just love a one-of-a-kind thrill, this is a gift that makes a big impression.

Elegant, exciting, and utterly memorable — perfect for marking a special occasion with something truly out of the ordinary.
