300 tons of Doerite Ballast at Carrog Yard
On Christmas Eve 2021 the Santa Season came
to a successful end, having worked over a
period of 9 days, carrying approx 600
passengers per day. Our only serviceable steam
locomotive, ex GWR Class 2884, “3802”
performed successfully and was a credit to the
hard work put in by the loco’s owner, Nick
Gilbert and a dedicated, but small MPD
volunteer group. Unfortunately, the four
remaining appearances on the “Mince Pie
Specials” have had to be cancelled due to the
reintroduction of social distancing and a ban
on groups of more than 30 meeting indoors.
