When the Thompson Park Railway originally hosted the 7.25″ Gauge Society AGM Gala in 2017, there were numerous diesel and steam locomotives hauling trains.

However, one person set out to do the job manually, and is seen in this video hauling the train round the loop with the goods train in tow.

I am sure you will agree, it looks incredibly hard work.

Previously only available in DVD/ BluRay format, or available to stream on RailAdvent Plus, we have now made this DVD available on YouTube and showcases the AGM Gala at the Thompson Park Railway in Burnley.

In September 2017, the Thompson Park Railway played host to the Annual General Meeting of the 7¼” Gauge Society.

Produced by RailAdvent for the Thompson Park Railway and the 7¼” Gauge Society, this video contains an hours worth of high-quality content of all days of the event, which saw more than 40 locomotives descend on the miniature railway in Burnley.
