Douglas Ferreira Overhaul

The Society's diesel locomotive Douglas Ferreira returned to the railway on 27 April 2012 and completed a test run to Irton Road and back. Testing is ongoing before a full return to service.

The overhaul was carried out this winter by its original builders TMA Engineering Ltd of Birmingham following seven years in service.

Get involved

We need your help to assist the full-time staff of the Railway.  The work is varied and interesting and you would join our existing volunteers who get a great deal of enjoyment from helping to run the railway.

Most jobs are available year round and even one day of your time can make a valuable contribution to the Railway.

Accommodation can be arranged in the Society Hostel, Heywood House in Ravenglass, from £6 per night.
