The Downpatrick & Co Down heritage railway was hit by major flooding at the end of October and start of November 2023. The flood waters totally overwhelmed the preserved railway leaving the tracks, yard, buildings and rolling stock submerged in deep flood water and much damage has been incurred.

Irish Retro Transport has partnered with the Society to raise funds for the repair of the rolling stock and infrastructure. The Downpatrick Collection is a series of limited edition replica posters, proceeds from which will go towards repairs etc. Please be generous and support this worthy fundraiser.
