The Flying Scotsman – recently voted the world’s most famous locomotive – will be in full steam at the Railway on Wednesday (September 21) for their Charitable Trust’s Charity Day.
It will then be joined by Tornado – the first new mainline steam locomotive to be built in the UK since the 1960s – for the Autumn Steam Gala Pacific Power event, between Thursday (September 22), and Monday (September 26).
One of the biggest heritage steam events that the SVR has ever hosted, the arrival of both locomotives has generated unprecedented interest from across the UK, with tickets to ride behind the engines selling out fast.
