Volunteer Liaison Officer update

The loco shed has been tidied for the delivery of two machines that have been donated to the railway from Valco Cincinnati at Hortonwood. These will greatly enhance our engineering capabilities, and we are grateful for their generosity and support.


The final cleaning of the Polar coaches has taken place, ready for the rehearsal trains this weekend.


The large marquee has been erected at Spring Village, and the snowball and commercial areas are being kitted out. The waffle shack and catering trailer are in place at Railway House. The tearoom has been decorated and a new table has been fitted in the kitchen. All the golden tickets have been posted out our customers who will be receiving them shortly.


Stock has been shunted at Lawley to ready for the TOAD to be moved there to provide accommodation for security. A safe waking route has also been created.


Lighting has been installed in Heathhill Tunnel and at Lawley for the North Pole set and Christmas Tree.


A two minute silence was observed at 11am on Remembrance Sunday
