‘N’ Class

Categories: Locomotives

Loading…

In 2016 this wonderful machine came into service, officially taking its first passenger turn in June.

The loco has a lot of history behind it, with some parts being over 45 years old. The chassis was originally purchased from a local private line alongside No. 2 Robin by a few of our Society Members. Unfortunately one of the Members sadly passed away before he was able to see this Locomotive in steam, so our team have done everything in their power to make sure this is a loco he could be proud of.

However, not long […]
0-4-2 The “9F” Steamer

Before you say “I was expecting a 9F”, through no fault of her own this little Maxitrax loco earnt the nick name “9F”. So, for those expecting to see a 9” 9F we apologise. This little loco was once a regular visitor to the mainline, but as the line grew and more passengers arrived every […]
Class 31

This wonderful beast of a locomotive is one of our fastest and most powerful locos on the railway. She was built out of necessity shortly after the line was extended in 2013, when our currently fleet of working locos shrunk for one reason or another. Over her build regulars at the railway would have seen […]
