THE Chasewater Railway's April 4-5 gala will be themed around the movement of coal from the collieries to the power stations across the decades - from the age of steam to the 'Merry-go-Round'. The Pits to Power Stations gala will showcase locomotives from the railway's steam and diesel fleet as they work an intensive timetable of both passenger and demonstration coal trains. These will be comprised of a variety of wagon types, including the ubiquitous 16T wagons and the railway's growing collection of 'HAA' hoppers. One of these, 'HMA' variant No. 355798, was part of the centrepiece exhibits at the Warley Model Railway Exhibition in Birmingham last November.
