What a fantastic Vintage and Miniature Steam Weekend! 🚂

Visitors enjoyed plenty of passenger and freight trains on the Miniature Railway, together with an impressive collection of vintage steam and road vehicles.

Thank you to everyone who came along and supported the event. We can't wait to do it all again next year as we celebrate NVR 50! 🎉🚂

GWR No. 6024 King Edward I to Visit the NVR
We are delighted to announce that GWR No. 6024 King Edward I will be visiting the NVR over the weekend of 10–11 October.

This will be the first King Class locomotive to operate over the former LNWR route on the NVR. In addition to hauling passenger services on Saturday 10 October, the King will also haul our popular Jolly Fisherman Train, The Cornish Riviera Express, on Saturday evening. Passenger services will continue to operate on Sunday 11 October.

The locomotive's visit is made possible through the generous support of the Royal Scot Locomotive & General Trust, to whom we extend our grateful thanks.

Tickets will go on sale on Thursday 11 June.

🚂Miniature Railway Shop Gets a Makeover👍

Thanks to the volunteers from the NVR Wagon Group, our shop has received a fresh coat of paint and is looking fantastic once again.

The shop has also benefited from a new roof, improved insulation, and a new internal ceiling. This work has all been made possible through ticket sales and purchases from our shop.
