A moment in railway history
24/10/2008 by admin.
Went to the annual National Railway Museum dinner in York. You actually sit among the locomotives. I felt a bit overawed by a gathering of industry luminaries but I knew enough of them to feel important.
Star of the show was undoubtedly the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust’s 60163 Tornado, the £3m newly-built steam train which had just arrived from the Great Central Railway, Loughborough, to take pride of place in the NRM’s Great Hall on before beginning her main line trials.
Yes, I really was in the presence of greatness.
