The campaign is bringing together over 80 organisations from as far afield as Scotland, Snowdonia, Leighton Buzzard, and the Lake District, and aims to shine a spotlight on heritage railway organisations, encouraging visitors to support them this summer.

There are six themed weeks, namely History, Conservation, Partnerships, Family, Volunteers, and Education. Throughout the campaign, heritage railways are encouraging visitors and supporters to get involved and share photos and memories of their visits on social media using #LoveYourRailway.

To stand a chance of winning, entrants must simply share a #LoveYourRailway themed post which is being issued by all participating railways, tagging @officialhornby and three friends that love heritage railways. as well as liking the @officialhornby Facebook page.

The competition ends at 11:59 pm (BST) next Sunday, 7th August. The winner will be chosen at random and announced 10 am on Monday 8th August 2022 on the Hornby socials and website. For full competition terms and conditions visit bit.ly/3ysxQoS
