THE STEAM RAILWAY AWARD YOUR CHANCE TO VOTE

In February

2019, the Heritage Railway Association will be hosting its annual awards ceremony and we’re asking you to decide what should win the Steam Railway Magazine Award. We’re putting forward ten nominees, all of which have achieved something special during the last 12 months, whether it is completing the restoration of a unique and historic locomotive, or opening a long‑awaited extension and perfectly recreated station building. This is about celebrating the best that preservation has to offer, and we want you to vote for what you think deserves to win.
