This week (31st January – 6th February)

The next Work Weekend is Saturday/Sunday 12/13th February. 

There’s a lot of work to be carried out at the Railway before we reopen in April.

We work from 10am until 4pm and will be working on several projects from a coach rebuild and building repairs to getting our oldest narrow gauge steam locomotive, Premier, back in service.

If you would like to help out, please email info@sklr.net to arrange access as we will be working at Kemsley Down.

A big thank you to everyone who attended the Work Weekend last weekend – here are photos of some of the work being undertaken at Kemsley Down:

2022 Calendar

We also have a number of calendars still available to purchase – they cost £7 (including post & packing) – and can be ordered here. Anyone can order them, they are not restricted to our members.

They feature details of the train service as well as a large notes area and information about the Railway. They have A5 pages so open out to A4 size. Here are some photos:
