We're absolutely delighted to announce that the first visitor to our Steam Gala on 13, 14 & 15 September 2024 will be none other than 7820 'Dinmore Manor!
The locomotive stars at our first ever Steam Gala courtesy of Dinmore Manor Locomotive Ltd and our friends at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway. Not only will Dinmore Manor be the first tender locomotive to visit our line for a significant period of time, but we're pretty sure Dinmore Manor will be the first ever Manor class to work to Chinnor!
