Currently on the list to be in steam are:
* 0-6-0 Peckett Saddle Tank No1859 "Sir Gomer" of 1932
* 0-6-0 Hunslet Austerity "Cumbria" (Courtesy of the Furness Railway Trust)

The three day event will see at least one visitor which will be announced in the very near future. We hope you can join us - this will be an exciting one

 

Hi

Is GWR 3803 is on the line?

Thanks

Jon

 

3803 unfortunately failed in late July and won't be running again until after her overhaul

 

The Battlefield Line is proud to announce the first visitor:

* Western Region 4-6-0 Manor Class No7820 "Dinmore Manor"

The Manor will join industrials Hunslet Austerity "Cumbria" and OX1 Peckett "Sir Gomer"

 

When is 3803 returning to the South Devon Railway for overhaul

 

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to that one

 

The Battlefield Line is now proud to announce the final line-up for our Autumn Steam Gala

* GWR 2251 Class 0-6-0 No3205 (courtesy of the South Devon Railway)
* BR (W) Manor Class 4-6-0 No7820 "Dinmore Manor" (courtesy of Dinmore Manor Locomotive Limited)
* Hunslet Austerity Saddle Tank of 1953 "Cumbria" (courtesy of the Furness Railway Trust)
* Peckett OX1 Class 0-6-0 No1859 of 1932 "Sir Gomer"

This will be the first visit of a Manor Class and a 2251 Class to the line. We are very pleased to be hosting the three visiting engines for the gala and our thanks go to their owning groups/societies for making them available

7820 comes to us fresh from her seaside summer on the Dartmouth Steam Railway

3205 was of course the pioneer of the Severn Valley Railway and we are pleased to be joined by such a historic locomotive!

Join us for an intensive timetable of steam hauled services on this gala weekend!

 

Really looking forward to making my first visit to the line for the gala!

 

Can't make the gala, but there mention on Facebook the guest will be working the following weekend. What's the plans for Sunday 1st November?

 

Dinmore Manor will operate our normal services on Sunday 1st November www.battlefieldline.co.uk

 

Hi

Any idea when the timetable will be made available so as plans can be made?

Thanks in advance

 

7820 'Dinmore Manor' arrived at the Battlefield Line early yesterday afternoon ready for their gala this coming weekend, look forward to seeing some of you there.

 

Will be visiting on Friday. Although I understand that only Dinmore Manor & 3205 will be running is this correct? Even thought they aren't running will Sir Gomer/Cumbria be visible?

 

Hi All.
The timetable should be up on the website very soon. Both Sir Gomer and Cumbria should be available to view on friday. Dont forget that on Friday children travel for a £1 if accompanied by an Adult.

Hi

Both facing south

Bit of an odd look on 3205, can't decide if it wants to be GWR or BR livery and tender looks unfinished.
