Chinnor Railway - Big Diesel Thrash

[sidmouth]

Tomorrow is the last day of the Chinnor & Princes Risborough's Big Diesel Thrash

 

details from the webpage

 

We've listened to the many enthusiasts who said they would travel with us if we put on a 3-Day Big Diesel 'Thrash!' 

So we've set the dates for Thur 11 May, Fri 12 May, and Sat 13 May 2017 and we have agreements with the respective owners to hire in 5-Big Heritage Diesels. 

And, of course, our unique resident Class 17 Clayton will be thrashing along with the others (and full power on its two engines too!). 
 

It's heavy haulage at it best and with gradients like our 1-68 Chinnor Bank (and there's others, including quite abump at the Princes Risborough end of the Line): it will be a really, very intensive, 3-Day Big Diesel 'Thrash!'
