There will be plenty to see and do – both of our steam locomotives Ab 608 and Ja 1271 will be in steam giving rides to visitors and our Da diesel-electric locomotives will be on display. All sheds will be open for visitors to look around, and volunteers will be present to answer any questions you may have. Inspect the progress of our heavy restoration projects, Ka 945 and Da 1471.
