East Anglia Railway Museum Spring Gala 6-7 April 2019

GWR 813 is special guest of The East Anglia Railway Museum's Spring Gala, 6-7 April 2019!

 

Also in steam for the event are the three operational resident Industrials:

They will be seen hauling a variety of consists including the goods wagons, vintage coaches and MK1s along with double headers and even triple headers.

Photo Evening with 813 Friday 5th April:

Meet at Chappel & Wakes Colne station at 18:15 for a quick safety brief and an outline of the evenings planned events. We plan to start at around 18.30 where we will concentrate exclusively around the goods shed, the goods shed dates back to Victorian times and is a fitting centrepiece for the museum and for our short nightshoot. It has been beautifully restored and oozes character.
We will be using the visiting Port Talbot Tank 0-6-0ST No. 813 and a small goods rake including our Toad Brake Van to provide the main stay of atmosphere. We plan to finish around 21.30 which we feel will give everyone plenty of time in a relaxed way to fully capture all the scenes on offer. The price of this charter will be £30.

Hmm, Pen Green has changed a bit since I last saw it.

 

I'm certainly looking forward to seeing 813 at Chappel, along with the industrial engines.
