The Moseley Railway Trust is pleased to announce that the 2009 Open Days at its Apedale site in North Staffordshire will be held on September 12 and 13 2009.
This is likely to be the only opportunity which the general public will have to visit the site this year and view the extensive collection of narrow gauge locomotives and other artefacts which the Trust has collected on site. Although it is unlikely that passenger trains will be in operation, the Trust will operate demonstration trains throughout the day. The railway on site has been extended significantly since the events in 2008. It is planned to use the new sections to provide some exclusive and unrepeatable photo opportunities for enthusiasts – unrepeatable because the areas to be used and the scenes to be created will be out of bounds once passenger trains are in operation.
It is planned to have a range of exhibitors and trade stands, plus model and miniature railways.
Further details will be announced in due course, but for now this event should be noted as one not to be missed.
The Moseley Railway Trust would be pleased to hear from potential exhibitors, especially vintage and veteran commercial vehicles. The Trust can be contacted via its website.
