Ivatt Diesel Re-creation Society

Considering how moribund the original scheme had become, it gives me a lot of pleasure to see how this is all going under the new leadership it has. I was greatly pleased to see a OO-scale model of 10000 (which had been converted to 3-rail operation) running on Tuesday at my local HRCA meeting which belonged to a recently-departed member and was being run in his memory.

In keeping with diesel re-creations, I've also signed up to the "Baby Deltic" lottery today

(As an aside, I rather liked this post by the BDP: Keep checking back here for updates, we will continue to use Facebook to spread the word but as it becomes ever more AI driven and ever more full of drivel our website will remain the only place where you can see full (and accurate) updates on the project.)

Our new promotional video is out:

 

Excellent - very professional!

 

Preparations are well advanced for our display at the Greatest Gathering. We hope to see you there.

 

We are actively looking for additional specialist volunteers to help speed the project along. Please do get in touch if you'd like to take part in re-creating 10000

 

We are in building U at the Greatest Gathering, Friday to Sunday
