Trenches' events were held, in 2016 and 2018, and all three events won critical acclaim for their diversity and presentation of equipment and material from WW1, with a significant number of WW1 re-enactors attending each event. In 2020, despite the limitations caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, two further major projects were carried out. Recognising that additional under-cover secure locomotive storage was needed, a second locomotive storage shed was erected near the WW1 Trench exhibit. This new building, called Aurora South, has four tracks, with two entering from each end - a configuration imposed by restrictions in where the building could be constructed due to the existence of a mining adit slightly to the south of the building. A grant for 25% of the funding was provided by the Newcastle-under-Lyme Civic Society, with the remainder of the funding raised by the Trust. The two tracks in the north entrance to the building are multi-gauge, allowing 2ft gauge (610mm), 2ft-6in gauge (762mm) and 3ft gauge (914mm)locomotives to enter the building - the Trust owns locomotives of each of these gauges. Construction of the building started in November 2020, and was completed in January 2021. A local steel building contractor was used for the erection. Work continues to connect the north end tracks to the rest of the infrastructure, but the south end was connected up in early 2021. The second major project for 2020 was erection of a steam locomotive watering facility at the Silverdale Station at the south end of the passenger line, and was fully funded by a grant from the Newcastle-under-Lyme Civic Society. Construction started in early 2020, with the installation of a reinforced concrete base, followed in November by construction of the brick tower to support a 4000 litre (880 UK gallons) water tank of traditional railway appearance. The water tank was constructed by a local fabricator to a design produced by the Trust, and was completed in August 2020. It was installed on the brickwork tower during August 2021. The water crane, also included with the grant funding, has been designed and should be erected over the winter of 2022-23. Railway Museum The piled foundations for the new museum building – the Narrow Gauge Railway Centre – were laid during 2011, but are awaiting funding to move the project forward. The building is 120 ft long and 39 ft wide (36.5m long x 12m wide) is modelled
