    GUEST ANNOUNCEMENT: A CLASH OF GIANTS! [​IMG]
    We are thrilled to announce that the legendary BR Standard Class 9F No. 92134 will be joining us for the 2026 Giants of Steam gala!
    This heavy-freight icon won’t be alone—it will be appearing alongside the unique BR Class 8P No. 71000 'Duke of Gloucester'. Together, they represent the absolute pinnacle of British Railways standard design—one built for raw, unyielding power, and the other for ultimate express speed.
    Witnessing these two "Giants" together on our line will be a highlight of the decade for enthusiasts and families alike. Don't miss your chance to see over 300 tons of Crewe-built history in action!
    A Special Thank You
    This landmark appearance is made possible through the incredible generosity of the Self Family and the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR). We are deeply grateful for their support in allowing 92134 to take part in this spectacular weekend.
