Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway - 'Northern Rock' Golden Jubilee Gala - 2nd May 2026

Our first visit to the R&ER for the Northern Rock Golden Jubilee Gala celebrating 50 years since the locomotive was built and entered service on the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway. This special event also saw 'Sir Arthur Heywood' a 7.25-inch gauge locomotive from the Eastleigh Lakeside Miniature Railway (ELMR) visiting on a flatbed truck and pulled behind 'Northern Rock', designed and built to look like the R&ER engine, it was frequently pulled along the line during the weekends trains.
