English: Diesel Engine Howard. About the Poole Park Railway
A railway service has been running under private management in Poole since April 1949, when it was set up by George Vimpany of Southern Miniature Railways Ltd with the steam locomotive ‘Vanguard’. The attraction was a great success right from the start with long queues forming to take a ride. In the 1970s it converted to a motor driven locomotive in keeping with the times. The service was suspended in 2018 following a number of service interruptions and personnel issues, and BCP Council took the running of the railway in-house. In October 2022 it was re-opened to much celebration, with diesel engine ‘Howard’ running on a newly laid 10¼ in (260 mm) gauge track, and with a new Engine Shed to call home. The new green & yellow livery pays homage to the Southern Railway that operated in this area from 1923 to 1947. The railway is now managed by council-employed Supervisors and an enthusiastic team of volunteers. |
