The details for the Darjeeling Sponsor's Event have been more or less confirmed now. This will take place at the headquarters of Romney Marsh Model Engineering, and as you can see from the pictures above, we have an impressive locomotive line up.
Topping the bill of course will be newly overhauled Garratt No.7 "Helen", undergoing final steam tests.
Darjeeling "B" class No.5 "Maid of Kent" will also join this historic occasion, the first time a pair of Darjeeling Locomotives have been Double Headed for a number of years.
The Darjeeling locos will be supported by "Lady Anne" No.3 "Bower Grove", acting as station pilot.
Highlights:
Darjeeling Garratt "Helen" carrying sponsors
A Darjeeling Double Header with No's 7&5
The two Darjeeling locomotives posing for photographs along with "Bower Grove", with a series of Photo Runby's included
And of course! yes..... Why not pair the two red engines together for the final train? No's 3&7 will be paired together as the sun sets, (well, hopefully!)
This event is scheduled to take place during late Winter 2011 or January 2012. Dates will be posted on this blog page when confirmed.
Regards,
Chris Nelson,
Event Organiser
NB: This event is a PRIVATE event for those who sponsered the overhaul. The official launch will take place in February 2012.
