I've only once had the pleasure of driving a loco (although it was 4472!) so I'm not in a position to know just how long it would take to become proficient with both driving and "the road". However, I'm a firm believer in the learning process sometimes referred to as "sitting by Nellie". It applies to almost everything we do. Best learning is on the job training and observing and being advised by a seasoned expert. Classroom has it's place but practical knowledge and experience can't be beaten.
