Sat 20th June 2026
The Saturday event was a public open day with passenger trains operating in between the freight paths.
Here Simplex locos "Major JA Robins RE" & newly repainted "Paul" top & tail.

"Jurassic" & "Major JA Robins RE" leaving for Seathorne Bank as the potato train runs up the shed link line.
The newly arrived ex IWM petrol-engined Simplex is taken to the shed from its display at Walls Lane ready for inclusion in the cavalcade of locos.
This years cavalcade was the longest ever with 11 locomotives - IWM loco (not under power) is fourth from front.
"Jurassic" leads this years cavalcade back to Walls Lane. Sad to think that "Jurassic" will not be in steam
next year as its boiler ticket expires in autumn 2026.
Should anyone wish to donate to the "Jurassic" appeal, details are on our homepage.
