BULLEID PACIFIC and GWR TANK ENGINES star at the WATERCRESS LINE AUTUMN STEAM GALA! | 06.10.2024
Driver experiences with Hunslett Austerity 0-6-0 3781 were also on offer at Ropley yard, and with this locomotive wearing the colours of Thomas the Tank Engine, it certainly was a popular one with the kids!
Enjoy all the action including non stop freight movements along the line, and a ride behind 34072 ‘257 Squadron’ as it works hard to tackle the steep gradients along the line, nicknamed the Alps, while hauling the 14.35 Alresford - Alton Southern ‘Atlantic Coast Express’ during a thoroughly enjoyable gala!
