For many years the Industrial Railway Society has run tours to see industrial and preservation railways overseas. We pride ourselves on going to out of the way places and unusual railways that are rarely covered by other tours. These tours are also open to non-IRS members. Why not come along and see something a bit different?
Former Yugoslavia (Croatia) - October 9th to 16th 2010 (Joint with LCGB)
Continuing our trawl through the new countries which used to be Yugoslavia, this year we are visiting Croatia. Our objective is to see all the remaining steam locomotives. Unlike Serbia, there are no tourist railways, but we will try to get locomotives in steam where possible. Some of the large collection at Ljubljana Railway Museum are in working order, and we shall certainly have the narrow gauge loco here in steam on the short demonstration track (with rides). Also Ljubljana Power station has a fireless, which the latest report says is still in use. There are many other plinthed and dumped locos, but if we run out of visits before we run out of time, we will stray over into Slovenia.
To be put on the mailing list for full details when available, please contact Fred Pugh. Details will be sent as soon as finalised.
