Visiting Locomotive Announcement

We are very pleased to announce that ex-British Railways No.03079 will be visiting us for our upcoming diesel gala. 03079 worked at Gateshead TMD alongside our own 03078 between 1976 and 1988 and completes a line-up of three ex-Gateshead locomotives.

This will be the first time 03079 has left the Derwent Valley Light Railway in 21 years! It comes courtesy of Trevor Humbey and the Derwent Valley Light Railway Society.

You can see 03078 and 03079 working together for the first time since 1988 on September 28th & 29th. Find out more about the event over on our Facebook events page.
