A Photo from Day 2 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.

 

At Didcot Railway Centre, their "Diamond Jubilee Gala" had 4 steam locomotives with 2 each on the "Main Demonstration Line" and the shorter "Branch Line." 2 diesels powered some early morning and evening trains.

Several Steam Locomotives were also on Static Display and it was possible to go round the sheds.

 

 

Here, Left to Right are :-

6023 - "King Edward II" - King or 6000 class 4-6-0

29 - The Lambton, Hetton and Joicey Loco on loan from NYMR

2999 - "Lady of Legend"

 

No 29 is in steam and will later run on the branch Line and

No 2999 is in steam and will run on the main Demonstration Line.
