Synolda slumbers for now but will be steaming about Ravenglass regularly during the summer holidays giving mini rides so come on and get up close and personal with the star of the museum’s collection. There’ll also be opportunities to try your strength and pull levers in the old signal box and outdoor displays of the museum’s historic rolling stock at Ravenglass station. Our museum is also open along with a sneak preview of what’s in store for the new extended museum opening in 2017.

Watch our Facebook page and Twitter feed for more details and timings. Every donation helps to preserve our UK heritage. 

River Mite is owned by the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway Preservation Society, and first entered service in 1967. Built by Clarkson’s of York using components from River Esk’s steam tender, the engine made history when it was delivered to Ravenglass by traction engine.

River Mite attracted a great deal of publicity when new, her distinctive Indian Red Livery from the old Furness Railway sets her apart from similiar River Esk features. You will still spot her travelling up and down the line today as she is one of our regular steam engines in service!
