Foxfield Railway Summer Steam Gala - 16th 17th July 2016

This year's Summer Steam Gala at the Foxfield railway will be held over the weekend of 16th and 17th July and will be themed around the Lancashire coalfield's Walkden area.

It will feature the usual demonstration coal trains on the 1 in 19 of Foxfield Bank and passenger services between Blythe Bridge Caverswall Road and Dilhorne Park stations, alternating between the standard service set and the restored 1880s North Staffordshire Railway heritage train.

Locos in action from the home fleet will include: 0-6-0ST Whiston, 0-4-0ST Bagnall 2842, 0-4-0 crane tank Dubs.

Visiting loco subject to confirmation: 0-6-0ST Norman (currently running as N.C.B. 35), courtesy of the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway.

A second visiting loco is being negotiated and will be confirmed soon.

The One Legged Shunter will be open all weekend serving a selection of real ales and the buffet will be open all weekend offering hot and cold food and drinks. Limited camping available.
