Steam wise only got one footplate ride and that was way back in the 70's on the K&WVLR on a "school" trip we (the school railway society) organised as a history outing the loco was the American Austerity tank 72 (30072).
Also at MR Butterley with the "help" of grand son was managed to get a cabride

Diesel
Barrow Hill Shed Open Day 1972 (I think may have been 79) where there was 08 and 03 cab rides
Whilst not a ride at the same event I cabbed Kestrel a 20 and a 37
