    This event was planned to take place in may this year but I have just read an article in the latest Heritage Railway mag that says it may be relocated to the Nene Valley Railway near Peterborough.
    This is due to the redevelopment of Long Marston into a building site.
    No mention yet on the website.

    Celebrating 100 years of the Royal Engineers, Railway Operating Division at the Long Marston Military Railway (LMMR).
    This event will display the skills and equipment from this unique army division which helped the allies win two world wars and save countless lives.
    Railway equipment incuding locomotives will be demonstrated. Not to be missed, is the opportunity to see LMMR's impressive, USA supplied, S160 second world war utility steam locomotive More than 600 of this type were supplied to the UK on lease/lend to boost allied logistics. Only a handful now survive worldwide.

    Where's geekfindergeneral when you need him? He seemed to be the driving force behind this and would be best placed to answer any questions.

    @geekfindergeneral

    There is work ongoing at Tyseley on 3278 based on the level of support they have . I wonder if May is going to be touch and go hence the decision to defer the railfest

    Thank you all for your interest. The original plan for Military RailFest was designed for a private site with controlable admission, and translated uneasily to a public railway. In fact, it didn't fit at all. So - and with heartfelt thanks to NVR, who have been more than gracious, it has been redesigned as a reunion of ex-Royal Engineers, Royal Electrical & Mechanical Engineers, Royal Corps of Transport and and Royal Logistics Corps railway veterans and their families and friends, which is, truth be told, our core constituency.

    No I do not currently volunteer
    I was sorry to see the Long Marston event was cancelled as I was hoping to find out more about the Longmoor Military Railway particularly for the period I was stationed there as assistant adjutant 16 Railway Training Regiment from febuary 1956 until september1957. The terrible railway crash was in October 1956.
