We've completed the first weekend of the Santa Campaign at Apedale - lots of visitors, lots of presents distributed by Santa, and hopefully lots of children going home and trying ESPECIALLY HARD to be good between now and Christmas. Our volunteers will now be going home for a well earned break - but we're back on the case next weekend, with a couple of mid-week charters for school parties thrown in for good measure. Many thanks to everyone who came along, and we look forward to next weekend's guests.
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.
