Join us for a unique photography special train during the build-up to the celebratory 14s@60 gala. This special train gives both rail enthusiasts and those passionate about photography the chance to travel to usually inaccessible parts of the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway to photograph Class 14 locomotives plying their trade. The train you will travel on and photograph is made up of period goods wagons, with participants transported in an authentic guard's brake van. Two locomotives in appropriate liveries will be used for the photography train.

In addition, participants will get a complementary return journey on a special journey before the photoshoot starts so they can enjoy the line from the comfort of a Mark 1 carriage first too.
