Locomotive Roster
Our locomotives are the “stars of the show”, both steam and diesel. As enthusiasts ourselves, we know it’s often important to know what will be running and on what day. On this page you’ll find our upcoming locomotive ‘Roster’ for public running days, listing which locomotive is due to work which trains on what dates during a certain period. Specific rolling stock numbers aren’t listed here as they change quite frequently. To find out more information about our fleet, click here for steam, here for diesel and here for DMU’s.
It is important to note that our locomotives are heritage equipment maintained by volunteers, therefore the list below can be accurate when published but change last minute due to failures, repairs or a myriad of other reasons! If you are travelling a long way speficially to see something, we strongly advise that you to contact us either close to or on the day itself to ensure that the traction described below is running ‘as booked’. Infomation provided here is only published when it is confirmed ‘ready for publication’, sometimes this can be called quite late.
