Join us in celebrating the 50th Anniversary of North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) with our exciting design competition for school children! 🚂🎨

NYMR, Britain's most popular heritage railway that welcomes over 300,000 visitors annually, is inviting young designers up to 16 years old to create a 50th Anniversary headboard design using this template (Click to Download).

The winning design will be picked by one of the stars of The Big Steam Adventure, our very own Paul 'Piglet' Middleton and will be made in to a full-size headboard, and the lucky winner and their family (Up to 2 Adults & 4 Children) will also receive a fantastic family day out, with the headboard in use on one of the services they travel on. Plus, at the end of the day, the winner will also receive their designed headboard! 🎁

Tips For Your Design

• Use bright colours
• Use the whole of the available headboard space

• View our Steam & Diesel locomotives for shape & colour ideas
