Trolley
We have a very useful four wheel platelayers' trolley that we can use for transporting heavier items down our track. It came from Yelland Power station and had been donated to the old North-West Devon Railway Preservation Society in 1983. It arrived at Bideford a few years later after storage at Bodmin.

Come along on Sunday 25th August to celebrate at our 30th Anniversary Gala. We hope to be able to show off the newly restored diesel shunter at the event.
DIESEL LOCO RESTARTED !!
After a 12 months-long complete rebuild of its diesel engine, our Planet diesel locomotive was successfully started at 3.15pm on Thursday 11th July. The days of black smoke were gone and the engine ran sweetly. A very big "well done" to the small team that have worked tirelessly to achieve this.
Another excellent start to our 30th anniversary year.
