Upcoming Events<\/h2>\n

On Wednesday 12th<\/sup> March, Chris Hardy of the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust will bring us up-to-date with Prince of Wales \u2013 brand new steam for the 21st<\/sup> century. In Darlington, the Trust is constructing a new steam locomotive, based on Sir Nigel Gresley’s massive P2 class 2-8-2 of the 1930s, adapted for use on the modern railway.<\/span><\/p>\n

Working steam will be on show on Wednesday 26th<\/sup> March when Stephen Bigley will present Steam Photo Charters.
