Steam Returns to the S&DJR at Midsomer Norton

28th November, 2024

We are pleased to report that Uskmouth, a Peckett 0-4-0 locomotive has arrived at Midsomer Norton in time for Christmas.  Thanks to our friends at the Dean Forest Railway, Uskmouth will be hauling our Santa trains in the run up to Christmas, and will also be running on both New Years Eve & New Years Day.

This is the first time that Uskmouth has visited Midsomer Norton, and will help to build the festive atmosphere for our visitors.  The loco will be coupled with our Mark 1 coaches which will be steam heated for our Santa at the Station event.  If you can't make the Santa events, then why not join us for our steam running day on 31st December, or the Mince Pie Specials on New Years Day.

Our grateful thanks to the Dean Forest Railway for kindly loaning Uskmouth to us for the festive season.
