The Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway have announced that they will be welcoming GWR Large Prairie No. 4144 for the 2023 Season.

4144 is currently at its home of the Didcot Railway Centre, where it has undergone a repaint, meaning the loco will look ‘as new’ when it arrives at the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway.

Services at the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway start on Mothering Sunday, 19th March 2023, and 4144 is expected to run the first trains of the season.

As a special trip, you can treat your mum to a boxed cream tea. More details over on the Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway website at www.chinnorrailway.co.uk

RailAdvent last caught up with 4144 at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, where it attended the line’s Spring Steam Gala. To see a trailer and find out more information about the DVD set, please click here.
