The first visitor was in 2005, from the Middleton Railway, and was this Meadows-engined example, which had originally been a track recording coach. (Ian Bradbury) |

The following year we had our first visit of one of the German railbuses, M79960, built by Waggon Und Maschinenbau in 1957, and on loan from the North Norfolk Railway. This one was fitted with a German Buessing engine.(Evan Green-Hughes) |

Moving on another year and the Wickham-built railbus from Middleton was back, this time repainted in departmental colours. (Ian Bradbury) |

Finally in 2010 we had another W&M railbus, this time fitted with an AEC engine and from the Keighley and Worth Valley (Paul Stigter) |
