It's only four sleeps to Gala Weekend - help us celebrate the centenary of our flagship steam locomotive "Stanhope". There's no need to bring a cake, we've already made one. All the visiting steam locos are site - we'll have six operating, with more than 500 years combined history. Not many events can boast four locos which are a hundred years or more. Opening times are 1100 to 1700 both days, with last admission at 1600. Ticket prices are Adults £6, children (3-15) £3 and a family (2+2) £15. The ticket includes one round trip on the railway - further train tickets can be bought if so desired. There are still a few Access All Areas tickets available at £20. In addition to all the trains, we expect model railways, sales stands, the ever-popular Titanic Brewery, living history people in the WW1 Trench - and more. The forecast looks pretty good - all we need now is YOU to make all the effort worthwhile!!
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.
