Well everybody 2013 has now officialy started and what a year we are gonna have planned.
2013 as people know marks 45 years since the end of steam on British rail and as such a series of special trains to commemorate the year will be running including a recreation of the famous fifteen guinea special on Sunday 11th August. Also 2013 marks Mallards 75th Anniversary of her record breaking run back in 1938 when number 4468 set a speed record of 126mph on stoke bank on the east coast mainline. A Lineup of all 6 A4s is planned to take place at the NRM at somepoint with the 2 recently imported A4s from America 60008 Dwight D Eisenhower and 4482 Dominion of Canada.
A List of events for 2013 is now added to the website including the steam charters I will be seeing and what Charters I am currently planning to go on. The list still needs some trips adding to the page and they will be added once dates are published and bookings commence.
A Number of great locos are also planning to return to the mainline in 2013 including GWR King class loco 6023 King Edward II, SR West country 34046 Braunton, LMS Jubilee 45699 Galatea & many more.
I Hope everyone has a good year and look forward meeting up with people in 2013.
