Those who read this blog may well be interested to know or indeed already know of our 2016 Diesel Gala at the DFR from the 2nd to the 4th September.
A direct quote from our Gala Team!
"The Dean Forest Railway is pleased to announce Hymek D7076 as the first
visiting locomotive for our diesel gala on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th
September 2016. The locomotive will be in service all 3 days of the gala
with an intensive timetable including last year’s popular rideable
freight. The DFR is very grateful to the Bury Hydraulic Group for
agreeing to let the Hymek loose in the Forest!! The visit is subject to
the usual availability/terms & conditions."
Our home fleet is hoping to be running as many as possible as well.
This slight departure from our usual fair of hammers, trolleies and swearing was brought about many from a purely selfish viewpoint as we shall be selling tickets for our popular raffle, the cause this year being an actual p/way depot to be constructed between the Bypass and Harbour Road Crossing. This will enable us to keep our stockpiles in one place and have the abilty to fianlly see what we've got lying in the bushes,as well as provide space to service the various bits of rail mounted p/way kit we own.
More news to follOW!
