Severn Lamb, a leader in the manufacture and supply of leisure, resort and amusement transport, reports brisk trade with projects on track all over the globe.
Winner of the prestigious Queen’s Award for Export, recent projects include the supply of three battery-electric Texan rail trains for the new Haichang Polar Ocean World in Shanghai, China. The Haichang Texan trains have been specially modified to run on an elevated track with a number of significant gradients as part of the park’s ‘Alpine Express’ centrepiece.
The company has also signed a deal to supply a new Texan rail train to the Weifang Fu-wah amusement park.
Also in China, Suzhou Amusement Land is poised to take delivery of two Lincoln rail trains for their new Forest Park. The park knows the trains well, having successfully operated two since 1996.
For a heritage railway in Portugal, Severn Lamb designed and manufactured the bespoke ‘TUA Express’ steam train (main image).
Elsewhere, the company is hard at work on four period tracked trolley buses and the associated track and infrastructure for a new development in Egypt. The trolleys are scheduled to be up and running early next year.
Severn Lamb is also supplying its SL Land Train to a park and zoo in Qatar and to the UK’s National Railway Museum in York.
