I am going to be a conductor on the steam train line 'Puffing Billy' http://www.puffingbilly.com.au/

Then after I have done that, they will train me to be a fireman :D

All volunteering :) It's going to be gold on my future resumes  :D

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

The steam engines use a steam whistle. The diesels that help out every now and again (For total fire ban days and if a train breaks or they are really busy) use the air horns. The little one has 10 :P

Nice one mazz ;) Conductor as in selling tickets on the train? Employers will definitely like lots of volunteer work, and you'll pick up lots of skills too. :)

I think the conductor helps the guard out and helps with signaling and checks the tickets, I am really excited about becoming a fireman (Shovels coal ect.) Because it's a lot more than just that  :D :D :D
