avonside1563 Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 The Foxfield summer steam gala will be held on the 20th and 21st July 2019. Once again it will feature demonstration coal trains on the famous Foxfield Bank, two thirrds of a mile at an average gradient of 1 in 25 out of Foxfield Colliery to the summit of the railway at Dilhorne Park. Locomotives from the home fleet this year are anticipated to consist of Hunslet Austerity saddle tanks, Whiston and Wimblebury, Beyer Peacock 1827 and the Dubs crane tank. Passenger services will again revolve around the Knotty Heritage train, including the newly introduced NSR brake 3rd, which will share passenger services with the, equally heritage but considerably newer, Mk1 set. The station bar will be open featuring a fine selection of real ales throughout the weekend and a free bus service will operate from Caverswall Road station to Foxfield Colliery for those who don't wish to venture out in the wilds to walk from Dilhorne Park to the Colliery. The guest locomotive has been announced as the freshly repainted Andrew Barclay 0-6-0T from the Lakeside and Haverthwaite railway 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
