Postcards! For the first time in Many years. We have created a series of postcards with the help of members, to sell in our shop during tours.

This will continue to aid us in the repair of rolling stock and continue our rail tours.

Pacer 144017 ran her last night tour for the year. And after driver experiences tomorrow she will be out of service for overhaul. She's been a sterling performer since she arrived but now she needs some care and attention. If you would like to join us in scunthorpe get in touch

We recently took a tour around the Scunthorpe site on a diesel pacer with the Appleby Frodingham Railway.

This night tour gave a completely different view of the site as you can see in this video clip taken from the front seat. 🚆🌙

We're helping british steel and the comms team display some of the historic artifacts and information about the site from our archive

[British Steel @BritishSteelUK]

Over the coming weeks we're going to be sharing with you some snippets from the archives in the form of a weekly #ThrowbackThursday post. Our first delve into the history books shows impressive icicles that had formed on the cooling tower at the Scunthorpe site in December 1978.
