There will be plenty of double headed action with a variety of combinations to ride behind and see.

On the last day of the event, a special photo opportunity will be available at Ropley when the diesels will haul the steam engines away toward Alresford and the breakers yard - not to be missed!

Miniature railway also in operation throughout the event (small fee applies for rides to assist with running costs)
