The Duke’s 10th Birthday Weekend

19th & 20th October | Events

The Duke is 10 years old this year!

Join us as we celebrate The Duke’s 10th Birthday over the weekend of the 19th and 20th October.

Running on our 10¼ inch gauge railway, Newlyn Downs Branch line, The Duke was originally built for and operated at the now closed Wells Harbour Railway, Norfolk in 2014.

It arrived at Lappa Valley in 2021 – and entered service 2022.

Designed by Alan Keen Ltd, it’s a 0-6-0 diesel hydraulic powered by a Perkins 22 bhp 3 cylinder engine.

We will be sharing more details of the weekend in the coming weeks.
