Martin House, a charity providing hospice care for young people, is working with the rail industry and Drax to offer “money can’t buy” prizes to be won.

To be in the draw, a £10 donation should be made to the fundraiser before Friday 19th December.


From the history of steam through to 21st century rail transport news, we have titles that cater for all rail enthusiasts. Covering diesels, modelling, steam and modern railways, check out our range of magazines and fantastic subscription offers.

The winner will receive a locomotive cab ride on the date of their choosing between Knottingley and Drax, where they will have the opportunity to watch the loading operation up close.

Second place receives a locomotive cab ride with GB Railfreight from the Port of Tyne along the Durham Coast, East Coast Mainline, through York Station and to Drax Power Station.

The third place winner will also receive a cab ride, this time on a Freightliner diesel locomotive.

DB Cargo will host the fourth place prize winner at its Traction Maintenance Depot in Nottinghamshire.

The winner and their guest will be shown how DB Cargo’s Class 66 Locomotive Fleet is maintained.

The fifth prize is a one-hour session on GB Railfreight’s Class 66 Train Driver Simulator at Peterborough. The winner can test their skills at handling a freight train at 75mph in various weather conditions.

Prize 6 is a private tour of Drax Power Station as well as a lunch for four on a day of the winner’s choice.

The seventh place winner will receive a Revolution N Gauge scale model of GBRF locomotive 66301 in its 2024 gold livery.

The model is now sold out, so this is the only chance to get one!

Multiple entries are allowed.
