Visiting Engines: Northern Rock & Soony
We are pleased to announce the star visitor to our Autumn Gala Weekend will be “Northern Rock” from the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway. The event which takes place on the 17th and 18th October will see “Northern Rock” visit the RH&DR for the very first time since it was built 50 years ago.
“Northern Rock” has been celebrating its 50th Anniversary throughout 2026.
Constructed at Ravenglass in 1976 with an attractive narrow gauge outline the locomotive quickly became the R&ER’s flagship locomotive and the mainstay of their services. The design of the locomotive was directly influenced by a visit of the RH&DR’s “Northern Chief” to Ravenglass in 1971. The design proved to be so successful two sister engines were built for a railway in Japan. “Northern Rock” will be hauling trains between Hythe and New Romney.
