SUMMARY:Saturday 4 July 2026 - 10.30
DESCRIPTION:Steam Gala Day today!\nWe are delighted to welcome a very special visitor for our Steam Gala weekends – Hunslet 0-4-2 No.1842 Howard\, appearing courtesy of the Statfold Narrow Gauge Museum Trust. \nJoining Howard in service will be South Tynedale Railway’s own steam locomotives\, Hunslet 0-4-2 No.1859 Green Dragon and Fabryka Lokomotyw 0-6-0 No.3459 Naklo\, providing visitors with an exciting line-up of steam power across four days of gala operations. \nA Great Day Out for Everyone\nWhether you’re a dedicated railway enthusiast\, photographer or simply looking for a memorable family day out\, our Steam Gala has something for everyone. \nFeaturing locomotives from the railway’s own fleet and our special guest locomotive\, visitors can enjoy heritage carriage rides\, wonderful photographic opportunities\, signal box tours and plenty of railway nostalgia\, all set against the stunning scenery of the North Pennines. \nMeet ‘Howard’\nBuilt by Kerr Stuart to their renowned Brazil Class design\, No.1842 was originally named Lady Morrison and supplied to British Aluminium’s 3ft gauge Lochaber Railway near Fort William\, better known locally as the “Puggy Line”. \nIn 1969\, the locomotive was purchased for preservation and moved to the Durley Light Railway in Hampshire. Here\, it was regauged to 2ft gauge and rebuilt with side tanks\, receiving its second name\, Josephine. \nFollowing its sale at auction in 2012\, the locomotive moved to Statfold Barn Railway\, where it underwent further restoration. During this work\, it was returned to its original saddle tank appearance and received its third and current name\, Howard\, in honour of Graham Lee’s father. \nIts visit to the South Tynedale Railway marks the locomotive’s first appearance away from Statfold Barn Railway\, providing a rare opportunity to see this impressive locomotive in action outside its home railway. Don’t miss the chance to experience Howard amid the spectacular scenery of the North Pennines. \nOur Home Fleet in Steam\nHunslet 0-4-2 No.1859 Green Dragon \nBuilt by the Hunslet Engine Company of Leeds in 1937 (Works No.1859)\, Green Dragon formerly worked on the Umtwalumi Valley Estate (U.V.E.) sugar plantation in Natal\, South Africa. Becoming “Number 1” on the U.V.E. roster\, the locomotive remained in service until the early 1980s. \nFollowing withdrawal\, the locomotive was used as a stationary boiler before being placed on display at Mount Edgecombe in 1991. Purchased for preservation\, it returned to the UK in 1997 and moved to Alston the following year. \nThanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund\, restoration work was undertaken by North Bay Engineering\, Statfold Barn and the engineering department at the South Tynedale Railway. Following successful trials and hauling the Santa Specials at the end of 2018\, Green Dragon entered regular traffic in 2019 and has since become a firm favourite with visitors to the railway. \nFabryka Lokomotyw 0-6-0 No.3459 Naklo \nOriginally built to serve the Nakło sugar beet factory at Chrzanów\, Poland\, No.3459 Naklo provides a fascinating contrast to our British-built locomotives. \nFollowing an extensive rebuild at Alston\, which resumed after a hiatus caused by the Covid pandemic\, Naklo returned to traffic with a new boiler and an attractive Prussian Blue livery. The side tanks were restored and a compressor incorporated into the tender to provide brake air for the train. \nNaklo has been back in service since August 2025 and will be in operation during the Steam Gala\, adding further interest for enthusiasts and photographers alike. \nPlease note: All locomotives advertised are subject to availability and may be substituted without prior notice. \nA Weekend for Enthusiasts\nRailway enthusiasts can look forward to: \n\nThree steam locomotives in operation across the gala weekends\n• The opportunity to travel behind visiting locomotive No.1842 Howard\n• The first opportunity to see Howardoperating away from Statfold Barn Railway\n• Steam trains operating through beautiful North Pennine scenery\n• Excellent photographic opportunities throughout the line\n• Signal box tours.\n• A varied line-up of British and continental narrow-gauge steam locomotives\n\nTrain Services\nTrains will operate to the South Tynedale Railway’s standard timetable on all four gala days\, with services worked by Howard\, Green Dragon and Naklo. \nTickets\nPre-book your tickets today! \nTickets purchased online are valid for one return journey only on your selected day of travel. \nIf you wish to travel on more than one departure during the day\, please contact enquiries@south-tynedale-railway.org.uk to discuss the available options. \nFor those wishing to make the most of the gala\, 2-day individual passes are available from the ticket office on the day of travel. These can also be booked in advance by emailing enquiries@south-tynedale-railway.org.uk. \nAdvance booking is recommended to avoid disappointment and secure your place at this special four-day steam event. \nJoin us this July and experience three distinctive steam locomotives in action at the South Tynedale Railway – four days of steam\, heritage and spectacular scenery in the heart of the North Pennines. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Sunday 5 July 2026 - 15.00
DESCRIPTION:Steam Gala Day today!\nWe are delighted to welcome a very special visitor for our Steam Gala weekends – Hunslet 0-4-2 No.1842 Howard\, appearing courtesy of the Statfold Narrow Gauge Museum Trust. \nJoining Howard in service will be South Tynedale Railway’s own steam locomotives\, Hunslet 0-4-2 No.1859 Green Dragon and Fabryka Lokomotyw 0-6-0 No.3459 Naklo\, providing visitors with an exciting line-up of steam power across four days of gala operations. \nA Great Day Out for Everyone\nWhether you’re a dedicated railway enthusiast\, photographer or simply looking for a memorable family day out\, our Steam Gala has something for everyone. \nFeaturing locomotives from the railway’s own fleet and our special guest locomotive\, visitors can enjoy heritage carriage rides\, wonderful photographic opportunities\, signal box tours and plenty of railway nostalgia\, all set against the stunning scenery of the North Pennines. \nMeet ‘Howard’\nBuilt by Kerr Stuart to their renowned Brazil Class design\, No.1842 was originally named Lady Morrison and supplied to British Aluminium’s 3ft gauge Lochaber Railway near Fort William\, better known locally as the “Puggy Line”. \nIn 1969\, the locomotive was purchased for preservation and moved to the Durley Light Railway in Hampshire. Here\, it was regauged to 2ft gauge and rebuilt with side tanks\, receiving its second name\, Josephine. \nFollowing its sale at auction in 2012\, the locomotive moved to Statfold Barn Railway\, where it underwent further restoration. During this work\, it was returned to its original saddle tank appearance and received its third and current name\, Howard\, in honour of Graham Lee’s father. \nIts visit to the South Tynedale Railway marks the locomotive’s first appearance away from Statfold Barn Railway\, providing a rare opportunity to see this impressive locomotive in action outside its home railway. Don’t miss the chance to experience Howard amid the spectacular scenery of the North Pennines. \nOur Home Fleet in Steam\nHunslet 0-4-2 No.1859 Green Dragon \nBuilt by the Hunslet Engine Company of Leeds in 1937 (Works No.1859)\, Green Dragon formerly worked on the Umtwalumi Valley Estate (U.V.E.) sugar plantation in Natal\, South Africa. Becoming “Number 1” on the U.V.E. roster\, the locomotive remained in service until the early 1980s. \nFollowing withdrawal\, the locomotive was used as a stationary boiler before being placed on display at Mount Edgecombe in 1991. Purchased for preservation\, it returned to the UK in 1997 and moved to Alston the following year. \nThanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund\, restoration work was undertaken by North Bay Engineering\, Statfold Barn and the engineering department at the South Tynedale Railway. Following successful trials and hauling the Santa Specials at the end of 2018\, Green Dragon entered regular traffic in 2019 and has since become a firm favourite with visitors to the railway. \nFabryka Lokomotyw 0-6-0 No.3459 Naklo \nOriginally built to serve the Nakło sugar beet factory at Chrzanów\, Poland\, No.3459 Naklo provides a fascinating contrast to our British-built locomotives. \nFollowing an extensive rebuild at Alston\, which resumed after a hiatus caused by the Covid pandemic\, Naklo returned to traffic with a new boiler and an attractive Prussian Blue livery. The side tanks were restored and a compressor incorporated into the tender to provide brake air for the train. \nNaklo has been back in service since August 2025 and will be in operation during the Steam Gala\, adding further interest for enthusiasts and photographers alike. \nPlease note: All locomotives advertised are subject to availability and may be substituted without prior notice. \nA Weekend for Enthusiasts\nRailway enthusiasts can look forward to: \n\nThree steam locomotives in operation across the gala weekends\n• The opportunity to travel behind visiting locomotive No.1842 Howard\n• The first opportunity to see Howardoperating away from Statfold Barn Railway\n• Steam trains operating through beautiful North Pennine scenery\n• Excellent photographic opportunities throughout the line\n• Signal box tours.\n• A varied line-up of British and continental narrow-gauge steam locomotives\n\nTrain Services\nTrains will operate to the South Tynedale Railway’s standard timetable on all four gala days\, with services worked by Howard\, Green Dragon and Naklo. \nTickets\nPre-book your tickets today! \nTickets purchased online are valid for one return journey only on your selected day of travel. \nIf you wish to travel on more than one departure during the day\, please contact enquiries@south-tynedale-railway.org.uk to discuss the available options. \nFor those wishing to make the most of the gala\, 2-day individual passes are available from the ticket office on the day of travel.

SUMMARY:Saturday 11 July 2026 - 10.30
DESCRIPTION:Steam Gala Day today!\nWe are delighted to welcome a very special visitor for our Steam Gala weekends – Hunslet 0-4-2 No.1842 Howard\, appearing courtesy of the Statfold Narrow Gauge Museum Trust. \nJoining Howard in service will be South Tynedale Railway’s own steam locomotives\, Hunslet 0-4-2 No.1859 Green Dragon and Fabryka Lokomotyw 0-6-0 No.3459 Naklo\, providing visitors with an exciting line-up of steam power across four days of gala operations. \nA Great Day Out for Everyone\nWhether you’re a dedicated railway enthusiast\, photographer or simply looking for a memorable family day out\, our Steam Gala has something for everyone. \nFeaturing locomotives from the railway’s own fleet and our special guest locomotive\, visitors can enjoy heritage carriage rides\, wonderful photographic opportunities\, signal box tours and plenty of railway nostalgia\, all set against the stunning scenery of the North Pennines. \nMeet ‘Howard’\nBuilt by Kerr Stuart to their renowned Brazil Class design\, No.1842 was originally named Lady Morrison and supplied to British Aluminium’s 3ft gauge Lochaber Railway near Fort William\, better known locally as the “Puggy Line”. \nIn 1969\, the locomotive was purchased for preservation and moved to the Durley Light Railway in Hampshire. Here\, it was regauged to 2ft gauge and rebuilt with side tanks\, receiving its second name\, Josephine. \nFollowing its sale at auction in 2012\, the locomotive moved to Statfold Barn Railway\, where it underwent further restoration. During this work\, it was returned to its original saddle tank appearance and received its third and current name\, Howard\, in honour of Graham Lee’s father. \nIts visit to the South Tynedale Railway marks the locomotive’s first appearance away from Statfold Barn Railway\, providing a rare opportunity to see this impressive locomotive in action outside its home railway. Don’t miss the chance to experience Howard amid the spectacular scenery of the North Pennines. \nOur Home Fleet in Steam\nHunslet 0-4-2 No.1859 Green Dragon \nBuilt by the Hunslet Engine Company of Leeds in 1937 (Works No.1859)\, Green Dragon formerly worked on the Umtwalumi Valley Estate (U.V.E.) sugar plantation in Natal\, South Africa. Becoming “Number 1” on the U.V.E. roster\, the locomotive remained in service until the early 1980s. \nFollowing withdrawal\, the locomotive was used as a stationary boiler before being placed on display at Mount Edgecombe in 1991. Purchased for preservation\, it returned to the UK in 1997 and moved to Alston the following year. \nThanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund\, restoration work was undertaken by North Bay Engineering\, Statfold Barn and the engineering department at the South Tynedale Railway. Following successful trials and hauling the Santa Specials at the end of 2018\, Green Dragon entered regular traffic in 2019 and has since become a firm favourite with visitors to the railway. \nFabryka Lokomotyw 0-6-0 No.3459 Naklo \nOriginally built to serve the Nakło sugar beet factory at Chrzanów\, Poland\, No.3459 Naklo provides a fascinating contrast to our British-built locomotives. \nFollowing an extensive rebuild at Alston\, which resumed after a hiatus caused by the Covid pandemic\, Naklo returned to traffic with a new boiler and an attractive Prussian Blue livery. The side tanks were restored and a compressor incorporated into the tender to provide brake air for the train. \nNaklo has been back in service since August 2025 and will be in operation during the Steam Gala\, adding further interest for enthusiasts and photographers alike. \nPlease note: All locomotives advertised are subject to availability and may be substituted without prior notice. \nA Weekend for Enthusiasts\nRailway enthusiasts can look forward to: \n\nThree steam locomotives in operation across the gala weekends\n• The opportunity to travel behind visiting locomotive No.1842 Howard\n• The first opportunity to see Howardoperating away from Statfold Barn Railway\n• Steam trains operating through beautiful North Pennine scenery\n• Excellent photographic opportunities throughout the line\n• Signal box tours.\n• A varied line-up of British and continental narrow-gauge steam locomotives\n\nTrain Services\nTrains will operate to the South Tynedale Railway’s standard timetable on all four gala days\, with services worked by Howard\, Green Dragon and Naklo. \nTickets\nPre-book your tickets today! \nTickets purchased online are valid for one return journey only on your selected day of travel. \nIf you wish to travel on more than one departure during the day\, please contact enquiries@south-tynedale-railway.org.uk to discuss the available options. \nFor those wishing to make the most of the gala\, 2-day individual passes are available from the ticket office on the day of travel. These can also be booked in advance by emailing enquiries@south-tynedale-railway.org.uk. \nAdvance booking is recommended to avoid disappointment and secure your place at this special four-day steam event. \nJoin us this July and experience three distinctive steam locomotives in action at the South Tynedale Railway – four days of steam\, heritage and spectacular scenery in the heart of the North Pennines. \n  \n
