"Preston Corporation" Night Shoot

An industrial steam night shoot that takes place at the Ribble Steam Railway on 15th February. The shoot will begin at 6pm and last for approximately two hours; one or more wagons are being returned to Preston Corporation guise to match the Bagnall, and two separate cameos will be presented. Places are limited and MUST be booked in advance; the cost per person is just £15. This will be the first time No. 2680 has been seen in steam in preservation, having been restored from what the owner describes as 'Barry scrapyard condition'.

Preston Docks Bagnall Comeback

Preston Docks Bagnall (in name and fittings, at least!) was back on Preston Dock metals yesterday, as Bagnall No. 2680 'Courageous' underwent a series of light engine test runs. The loco should be the star of Ribble Steam Railway's Steam Gala on 15th/16th February.

The Bagnalls were once a daily site on the Preston Dock system, and many photos of them can be seen on our Preston Dock page.

There will be more information in this week's Railway Herald!
