About

Audley End Enchanted Railway is proud to announce the arrival and official launch of its brand-new electric steam-outline locomotive, which will officially launch on Saturday 11 July 2026.
The impressive new locomotive, coincidentally delivered on the anniversary of Lord Braybrooke's death, represents a significant milestone in the attraction's 62-year history. Combining the appearance, sound and spectacle of a traditional steam engine with modern electric technology, it is believed to be the first locomotive of its kind operating in the UK.
