🚂 A railway first at Road, Rail & Ale! 🍻

This weekend at Statfold’s Road, Rail & Ale event, we’re making a little bit of history…

For the first time in its entire history, Bord na Móna diesel LM407 will be pulling passenger trains!

Originally built for industrial peat railway work in Ireland, LM407 has never hauled passengers before — until now. This is a rare opportunity to ride behind a locomotive beginning a brand-new chapter in preservation.

Don’t miss your chance to be part of this special first at Road, Rail & Ale this weekend!

🚜 The first of our exhibits has arrived for Statfold’s 40’s Weekender!

We’re excited to welcome this fantastic thrashing box, made by Allan Brothers of Aberdeen, as part of our 1940s weekend display.

But what is a threshing box?

A threshing machine, was an important piece of agricultural equipment used to separate grain from the stalks and husks after harvest. Before machines like this, the job was done by hand using flails, which was slow, tiring and labour-intensive work. Machines like this helped transform farming by making the process much faster and more efficient.

This example was built by Allan Brothers of Aberdeen, a well-known Scottish engineering firm recognised for its agricultural machinery and oil engines.

Come and see it up close this weekend at Statfold as we step back in time for our 40’s Weekender: Rails to Victory!

📅 Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th July
⏰ 10am – 5pm

Step back in time at Statfold for our upcoming 1940s event!

Join us for a nostalgic day of vintage sights, sounds and atmosphere as we bring history to life — including the chance to see the Burton & Ashby Tramcar No.14 in operation.

Built in 1906 by Brush of Loughborough, No.14 once ran between Burton-upon-Trent and Ashby-de-la-Zouch before an incredible journey that eventually brought it home to Statfold via Detroit.

Now, visitors can enjoy seeing this remarkable survivor running once again as part of a truly memorable day out.

Whether you love local history, heritage transport, the 1940s era, or simply a great family day out, this is one not to miss.
