Our Friendly Engines will be coming out to greet our younger visitors – how many will you be able to spot during the journey?

All being well, two of our friendly steam engines will be operating. They will be Ogwen the Welsh Engine; she’s a west country lass at heart, but well travelled – she’s spent most of her life in Wales, but retired to America. Find out her full story!

Oscar is our oldest engine – he’s 114 years young (he says). He’s also well travelled, and spent a long time in South America, so you may need a phrase book. But don’t worry, Oscar’s always an OK engine.

We’re hoping that our younger visitors will be able to have short footplate rides with Oscar or Ogwen. You’ll be able to find out all about their fascinating life stories. Hopefully, we’ll have one of the diesel locos available for visitors to have a go on the controls.

Steam trains will run from 1130 to 4pm on both days. Standard fares will be charged – and no need to book ahead, just arrive, pay in the shop, and hop on the next train.
