2023
2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the arrival of 'Boscastle' at the Great Central Railway.
We had hoped to get the locomotive back to running order in this anniversary year. Unfortunately, Coronavirus and the theft of parts has made this aim unachievable. However, we will press on with the heavy overhaul throughout the year.
