Railfest 2012
2nd - 10th June
Book your ticket now for Britain's biggest ever gathering of rail record breakers. Get up close to more than 50 of the fastest, strongest, smallest and newest locos across a mind-blowing space the size of 11 football pitches. Climb in the drivers' cabs, stand on the footplates, and ride with locos big and small. Plus, live theatre performances, vehicle demonstrations, trade stands and rarely seen railway giants like snow ploughs and a sail-powered railway vehicle.
Must-see highlights at Railfest will include:
• Mallard - holder of the record for the fastest steam locomotive in operation
• Mardy Monster - the most powerful industrial steam locomotive built for use in the UK
• 91110 - the fastest ever UK electric locomotive
• Olton Hall - the famous steam star from the Harry Potter movies
