What does it take to be a Steam Train Engineer?
I'm assuming the questioner is American so using "engineer" as = "driver" in the UK.
A thorough knowledge of the machine itself - how it works etc., how to prepare, fire and drive it at its most efficient for the required speeds, train weights & track conditions.
A thorough knowledge of the particular railway's operating & safety rules & procedures; and of its route.
Good physical health including good eyesight.
Anything else? Oh yes - knowing the difference between a "train" and a "locomotive" (or "engine") would be a good start!
What au pair means in job tiltle?
I believe this refers to someone who would be considered some kind of an assistant, (a nanny, instructor, teacher, butler, maid...).

A lactometer is primarily used by dairy farmers and milk processors to measure the specific gravity of milk, which helps determine its quality and composition.

Why not? A volunteer fire fighter is the lifeline for more people in rural areas than we like to think about. And that sets aside the volunteer with a city department (where fire fighters unions still permit them) who provides that extra manpower when the sky is red and the chips are down. The selfless service these empowered individuals provide saves lives and reduces property damage and loss. The volunteer will be trained, and training is a good thing. Departments train volunteers to do all the things that paid fire fighters do, and maybe some more. (Who ever heard of a big urban fire department training one man live line and ladder, hmm?) So you'll get training, and a lot of it. Very useful stuff, too, particularly the first aid and emergency medical course work you'll have to go through. You may be at, say, a fast food restaurant and use it to good effect before any firefighter or EMT can appear. You will have been a "first responder" in the finest traditions of public service. There is the "awareness factor" associated with this line of service that will make you a safer citizen, too. Your home and business will be less of a fire (or other) hazard, and your will help family, friends and neighbors make changes to improve the chances that something untoward will jump off there. We could go on, but you get the picture. Becoming a volunteer fire fighter is not for everyone, and not everyone can do it. But, if you have the will and the skill, you may be able to take up some of the slack in your community. And there is usually a bit more slack than anyone is willing to admit, particularly when something big and "unpredictable" transpires. Make an inquiry with any fire fighter you see, go to any (manned) fire station, or get on the phone and make some calls. If you're interested, that is. Good luck making the grade.
