Positive Partnerships for Progress – 3 September 2008
The Rudyard Lake Steam Railway, will be holding there anual Steam Gala on the 13th and 14th september.
The railway hasn’t got a visiting 10.25” gauge loco lined up this year, unfortunely. But still there wo’t be disappointment, as we have lined up, a 7.2” gauge dolgoch which shall be giving rides on the newly layed daul gauge railway around the back of the shed, and if that hasn’t got your interest, we have got the north staffordshire model club, bring there portable 3.5” and 5” gauge track, with some of the toys.
As well as all five steam locos Excalibur, Merlin, Pendragon, King Authur & Waverley.
With the newly restored Rudyard Lady, and newly built Sir Ernie, & mordred on shed for photos.
a day rover ticcket will get you access on all the railways, for as many trips as you want.
