Can you help?
Here at the FHR we have a small fleet of diesel locomotives along with 'Forth' our centenarian steam engine. We also have several items of plant. All of these vehicles require regular repair and maintenance but we are struggling to keep the wheels turning due to lack of suitably qualified volunteers.
If you are a qualified or experienced steam and/or diesel fitter, or a plant operator mechanic (POM), we could do with your help!
If you are willing to volunteer with us please get in touch. If you know anyone who might be able to help please pass this on.
Thank you.

After a short shower the sun is out and we are celebrating the centenary of Forth, our lovely wee steam engine. We have the Buckhaven Brass band and bouncy castles plus lots of other attractions including trains running. Why not come along to Kirkland Yard KY8 4RB for a fun day out!

We're all set for tomorrow's party to celebrate the Centenary of our steam engine, "Forth". Although she won't be in steam due to a technical issue, she will be on static display at the station where you can get up close and personal! You will even be able to get on the footplate and find out what it is like to be a driver and fireman. Our volunteers will be on hand to tell you about Forth and how a steam engine works.
Diesel hauled trains will be running and there will be lots of other attractions, including guided tours.
