More Steam at Midsomer Norton - Std.4 80072 to visit in September

[Stephen Lacey (92245) 14]

Following on from the successful visit of the Jinty from the Great Central Railway in Feb/Mar, the Somerset and Dorset Railway Hertiage Trust will be hiring in Standard 4 2-6-4T No.80072 form the Llangollen Railway to operate services on the 10th/11th and 17th/18th September.

 

Special prices will apply, but this is another step in the right direction to seeing regular steam operations back on former Somerset and Dorset metals.

 

The Trust will hopefully have their BR Mk1 BSK cosmetically restored externally for the event, so we can give the feel of a proper S&D local service over the two weekends.

 

Regards,

 

Stephen

Good to have the information - thanks.

 

I do hope then that the S&DRHT website will be updated in good time - at the moment it is showing the 'next event' as being for 18/19 June and the 'current Telegraph' as the issue from last September!
