A feast of branch line action featuring Pannier, Prairie and Autotank hauled trains, plus the special guest appearance of the unique Steam Railmotor No.93
The nine-day event will include a variety of branch line style passenger services

Visiting Great Western Railway steam loco’s 1450 & 5542, and home based 1369
After much thought and discussion, we hope that the timetables will provide plenty of traditional branch line variety, with a particularly good cross section trains running from several different eras. The GWR Local set will be formed of 7377 + 1295, and the BR Local will be just W1645 (which will look particularly nice when running with 1450 which will retain its present weathered black livery for the event).
1, 2 & 3 car auto trains (including the first three–car 55xx worked auto train in preservation)
Great Western & British Railways era trains (some with Milk Tanks added as “tail traffic”)
plus Diesel Railcar No. W55000 (Saturday evenings)

The Devon Diesel Society are now sourcing a variety of winter style ales which will be available from the bar at Staverton on each Saturday and Sunday. There is late opening of the bar (with connecting trains) on both Saturday and Sunday of the first weekend (including a quiz on the Sunday), and again on the second Saturday.
Special Timetables (see below for details), including late trains on Saturday 16th & 23rd
