Follow our MHR Loco Shed volunteers' work to keep steam alive - not dead in a museum! Watch over their shoulders as these wonderful machines are restored, maintained and run; as replacement parts are made and fitted; as MHR carries steam enthusiasts, families and footplate students faster, safer, more stylishly, month-on-month. Visit us, see, hear, experience the thrill of powerful steam locos working really hard for mile upon mile up our steep gradients.
