The DVLR has worked with various groups and oganisations who
needed the railway to make tests and achieve various goals,
technical, novel and/or fun. Below is a link to an example,
incorporating all three.
The Spurn Landship Project, when looking to recreate the civilian
use of the Spurn Point military line following WWI, did testing at
Derwent Valley Light Railway.
The fascinating story can be found on Mara Hati’s YouTube page,
where you can read of how, between the Wars, some resourceful
people at Kilnsea made their own sail driven craft for use on the line.
