Diesel Gala 8th August 2026

 

A showcase of our Diesel locomotives.
Our range of Diesel locomotives are modeled on those from several countries and designed for various jobs – shunting, freight, express passenger.
Look out for petrol powered locomotives – these are not normally used on passenger trains on our railway and will be something quite different! Trains during the day may be double headed (two locomotives hauling one train) or top and tailing (a second locomotive pushing at the rear of the train). We have 9 locomotives rostered and will be running at different times throughout the afternoon (subject to availability). Currently confirmed locomotives are as follows;

  • Industrial Narrow Gauge Shunter
  • BR Class D2/11 ‘Brush’
  • BR Class 20 ‘Chopper’
  • BR Class 23 ‘Baby Deltic’
  • BR Class 31 ‘Goyle’
  • BR Class 33 ‘Crompton’
  • BR Class 35 ‘Hymek’
  • BR Class 40 ‘Whistler’
  • Industrial Shunter – Petrol
     
    We will finish the day with a CroLoad formed of all our passenger carriages top and tailed by two BR outline mainline locomotives.
 

Extended opening from 1pm to 6pm but normal fares apply;
£1 Single Ride
£4 Day Rover – unlimited rides on day of issue (ideal to get to ride behind all the different locomotives) 

Please note the Diesel Gala has been rescheduled from June due to bad weather.
