Well, that's about it for another year. Passenger train safely tucked up in the shed, and all the volunteers recovering at home. It's been an epic Santa season; we await confirmation from the Chief Accounting Elf, but early indications were that we were on track to break the previous record number of customers. So, for everyone who came to see us - either for the Santas or at other times in the year - a big thank you. And to all our volunteers, an even bigger thank you. You know who you are, and well done. We'll try to produce the Highlights show between Xmas and New Year. In the meantime, a couple of images of the Santas.
The Trust's aim is to build a museum and a railway to display its collection of industrial narrow gauge equipment that has been gathered from various industries around the UK in the last 30 years, and in doing so we aim to educate and entertain both the general public and the railway enthusiast.
The Industrial Narrow Gauge Railway is an unusual aspect of British Industrial Heritage that is now almost extinct. These small, self-contained railway systems were often hidden away from the general public and served such diverse industries as brickmaking, sewage works, munitions factories, mines, civil engineering and many more.
