2019 is the 50th anniversary of the re-opening of the Ashburton Branch. Our steam gala, celebrating this milestone, will run from 6 to 14 April 2019. There will be many activities and events going on throughout the week; it promises to be one of the best the SDR has ever put on! There will be a number of visiting engines and a busy and varied timetable.
Throughout the event there will be an exhibition at Buckfastleigh with, displays showcasing fifty years of steam trains in the Dart Valley, a souvenir stand, a Real Ale Bar and, on certain days, free children’s activities.
Different themed days will provide opportunities to celebrate our railway, locomotives and history.
