Celebrate BHLR and Pecorama’s 50th Birthday in Style! 🎉🚂
📅 15th – 19th July
📍 Pecorama, Devon
Join us for a milestone celebration as BHLR and Pecorama turns 50! To mark this special occasion, we’re bringing back two of our original locomotives: Thomas Jnr. and Little Nell. Witness these iconic engines as they take to the tracks once again, evoking the charm and nostalgia of our early days.
On Wednesday 16th- we welcome Richard Awdry, grandson of the Thomas the Tank Engine author Rev Awdry to Pecorama. Our Chaiman Michael Pritchard and Mr Awdry will give short speeches marking the Beer Heights Light Railway’s 50th birthday at 12:45. This will be followed by a commemorative tree-planting by Mr Awdry. He will then be available to sign copies of the Thomas story books from 2:30pm and these will be available for sale in the gift shop.
