    This is a first for whitwell and we hope it will go without anything going wrong.
    It will be held on 31st july- 1st august.
    It will feature our steam engine "Annie" 0-4-0ST and hopefully a visitor steam engine(not yet known).
    It will also hold a number of steam traction engines and model trains + ride on along the platform.
    So whats going to happen? Well you will get a ticket to ride our Y shaped track Where you will get on one side and leave the other side, where the any traction engines in the middle of the Y. When you want to leave/go back, just get on the train to be then dropped back to where you first got on. Make sence?
    Happy to fill in any confused people, just ask.

    There will be disabled access to the middle as untill the council give us the go ahead to get on to have a track along the platform they cant ride the train. sorry nothing we can really do.

    We wont be having the second loco as the cost is too much for the travel.
    But the event is still going ahead and will be packed with engines of alsorts.
