Be part of history as we introduce the youngest steam engine in the country! The Great Western 'Grange' Class No. 6880, Betton Grange, completed just this year, will make its first appearance at our gala. This remarkable locomotive was funded and built by dedicated enthusiasts after none of the original 80 'Grange' locomotives survived the 1960s. The first ‘Grange’ rolled out in 1936, so this new addition bridges nearly 90 years of steam history!
Get ready for a dynamic timetable, running an array of both passenger and goods services throughout the event. Whether you're a dedicated rail enthusiast or just looking for an unforgettable experience, there will be something for everyone.
