For the first time since 2019 - Jack - our 15" locomotive will be on display.   This is much smaller than our other locos and thus can't run on our track.

Although we will run a service on our line for passengers - included in the ticket price please be aware that we do not expect to run steam trains as the risk of fire on site has never been higher.  We are currently sheduling our diesel locos to be on the line some of which are rarely seen operating.

At present we are working hard to get Garforth Station Footbridge restored and erected on site.  At 130 years old we think it deserves to be saved as an example of our rail and engineering heritage.  Can you help - and be here for the opening.  Be on the first train under the restored bridge.  Get a Founders ticket by Donation - details here

What we do

At Bredgar we have restored many long since abandoned industrial vehicles and machines to their former glory, some are better than original and now benefit from a new lease of life.
