May Mini Gala
11th and 12th May 2024
Join us this weekend as we welcome a visiting engine courtesy of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Trust. Locomotive number 752 will be performing this weekend alongside our own engines, 4144 and 1340, Trojan.
Locomotive 752 is owned by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Trust and was built by Beyer Peacock in 1881 as a tender engine. In 1896 it was rebuilt at Horwich as an 0-6-0st to an Apsinall design.
Renumbered 11456 by the LMS in 1923, it was sold to the National Coal Board in 1937 and was then purchased for preservation in 1967.
It's currently running in BR Black as number 51456.
Ticket options
Help support Didcot Railway Centre
The Great Western Society, which operates Didcot Railway Centre, is a registered charity which works to maintain the heritage and history of the museum. As a charity, we can claim Gift Aid on your admission ticket. By GiftAiding, you allow us to claim back some of the tax you pay to the government as a donation to the charity.
Ticking the Gift Aid box at checkout confirms that you are giving us the authorisation to claim Gift Aid on your purchase and that you are a UK taxpayer and understand that if you pay less Income Tax and/or Capital Gains Tax in the current tax year than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all your donations it is your responsibility to pay any difference.
Please notify the charity if you:
- want to cancel this declaration
- change your name or home address
- no longer pay sufficient tax on your income and/or capital gains
If you pay Income Tax at the higher or additional rate and want to receive the additional tax relief due to you, you must include all your Gift Aid donations on your Self-Assessment tax return or ask HM Revenue and Customs to adjust your tax code.
