Merry Christmas from the DPS!

Updated: 3 days ago

Merry Christmas to all, we hope you’ve had a fantastic year with us! We have certainly had a great year, a few bumps in the road but these are 60+ year old locomotives don’t forget! But don’t worry, our volunteers are fantastic at maintaining these iconic machines.


2025 is shaping up to be a great year for the society. We heard D9015 start up for the first time in over 20 years, could we see her run in 2025? Is 55009 going to make its return debut? Is 55019 going to thunder on some heritage railways? There’s only one way to find out and that’s to continue coming along (or joining us. New faces are welcome always) on our journey.


If you need one more hit of that Napier sound in 2024 to get you through (because let’s face it, a Napier is a lot better than a mince pie!) then don’t forget 55019 is running at the Great Central Railway, Saturday 28th December 2024. The sales stand will be there.

A huge thank you goes to our volunteers for their countless hours of work, and to all who support us big or small, it all helps, it gets us one step closer to achieving our goals.


We hope to see you in 2025.
