    On the Line Again – The Return of Old Friends

    The Friends of the Kirklees Light Railways 4th Annual Gala Weekend will take place over the weekend on the 12th and 13th September. The theme of this years event is “Back on the Line Again” which will be a grand reunion of locomotives that have been residents of the line in the past or perhaps it could be a tantalising glimpse of what the KLR locomotive fleet may have looked like.

    The former resident locomotives attending the event are Wroxham Broad from the Bure Valley Railway, SR & RL No.24 from the Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway and Sian from the Windmill Farm Railway. Also visiting from Cleethorpes will be the former Bush Mills Railway Mountaineer which is coming to Yorkshire to test its new cylinders and other improvements. The KLR’s home fleet of locomotives which includes a Kitson Meyer and a Heisler will be in action over the weekend too.

    The event on the 12th and 13th September will feature an intensive timetable with additional shuttle workings and a demonstration goods train for photographers. There will be displays of vintage vehicles, a model exhibition and the Barnsley Society of Model Engineers Duck Pond Miniature railway will be in operation too.
