    Little known fact, but D1842 hauled the first passenger train north of Ramsbottom...on the ELR.

    A year or so before Rawtenstall opened a VIP train ran to the opening of Irwell Vale station, which it top and tailed.

    47192 (D1842) officially restarted at 4pm after extensive work which has taken place. So we are pleased to announce that it will be running on brakevan rides this weekend for our modern traction gala. We would like to thank all the team who has helped and supported the project. Here's to many happy years!
