Joining us this coming weekend...

In this photo Nick and Phil (who look so young in this photo!) are taking 534 for a lap around the track at Beamish.

This same locomotive will be visiting us in Alnwick THIS WEEKEND for our gala.

It's on over two days:
Saturday - for enthusiasts who love miniature railways. It's a great opportunity to meet us, have a ride on our railway and see all the smaller locos in action.
Sunday - our busy day!! Expect intensive passenger trains all day long with the summer fair.

We're looking forward to see you!

Another locomotive operating at our gala NEXT WEEKEND!

Scamp 21 has been at our railway since the very beginning - it's now normally used for works trains, but it'll be taking passengers at our Gala!

You can ride all day behind this locomotive & all the others at our gala for just £4.50!

Another Ex-Beamish Cog Railway locomotive will be joining us next weekend! 🚂

Buddy, which belonged to Patrick since he was 13 - is now owned by a young hobbyist in Norfolk. He's kindly offered to bring it along for the weekend!

We can't wait to see Buddy trundling along the line!

You'll be able to ride all day for just £4.50 on our miniature railway both days!

This beauty will be back with us in less than two weeks time! 👇

You may recognise Nick's locomotive from its time at Beamish Cog Railway or its time on our portable railway!

We're excited to see it power up the bank with a set of carriages on the back! - it's spectacular. 💫

This photo was taken at our gala two years ago. It's not an event to miss!

We'll see you there! 🚂
