Another engine was purchased 4 years ago and has been completely refurbished. It will be ready for service sometime in 2011,hopefully before August, in time for the 150 year celebrations. The name of the new engine? Saltburn 150. Very appropriate.
The train starts off from the station located near the car park...
runs along side the beck...
past the new brick engine shed...
along side the wood, to the other end of the line at Forest Halt. From here you can walk across the wooden bridge and on up to the actual "Valley Gardens" where you can get a cup of tea etc.
The whistle blown, the flag waved, here they go on the return journey.
