On the weekend of Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th September 2023, the 009 Society marked its 50th anniversary with a special exhibition at the Statfold Barn Railway, located in the grounds of Statfold Country Park near Tamworth in Staffordshire.
As well as a model railway show, the 2ft gauge railway operated a two train service throughout the day, with no less than two steam locos and one diesel in action. The steamers were Bagnall 2-6-0 tank 2820 Istibuti, Peckett 0-6-0 Saddle Tank 2050 Harrogate, and Plymouth diesel loco No.7
Also featured in this film (shot on 'members day' on Saturday 16th), is the railway's current and vast collection of varying types of narrow gauge steam and diesel locomotive, of all makes, sizes and nationalities. See how many you can recognise!
Standard gauge steam is also represented here, in the form of Glenfield and Hodbarrow.
