About this event
We are delighted to be able to offer you an evening of photography with one of preservation's highest profile steam locomotives, 'A1' Class 4-6-2 No.60163 Tornado. The Pacific is visiting Didcot Railway Centre for the Autumn period and we have been given the chance to run another of our increasingly popular late afternoon and evening shoots featuring the most recently-completed new build engine to the design of A H Peppercorn.
Our event will run between 16.00 and 22.00 and will include the most popular features of our evenings at Didcot with cameos outside the shed, inside the shed and under the Coal Stage. Appropriately dressed re-enactors and staff will be on hand to add colour and life to the scenes and we will ensure that participants move around so that everyone has the chance to get the shots that they want. The cafe will be open for the earlier part of the evening so catering will not be a problem. The inside of the shed at Didcot presents one of the most atmospheric recreations of a steam era motive power depots in the country and we intend to make full use of this ambiance during our exciting event.
Those of you that have attended one of our evenings at Didcot in the past will know just how wonderful the shed area is but to ensure variety in your portfolio we will be positioning the loco on a different road to when she visited last year.
Tornado was built and is operated by the A1 Steam Locomotive Trust and is now in its seventh year of operation. It has gained national press coverage both for itself and the heritage railway movement. The owning group are now proceeding with their next major project, construction of a Gresley 'P' Class Mikado. We would like to thank both the A1 Trust and the Great Western Society for the opportunity to combine a superb locomotive with the backdrop of a genuine steam era depot in this rare photographic spectacle.
We look forward to seeing many of you at Didcot Railway Centre next month for another fantastic night of steam and atmosphere.
Event cost £65.00 per person.
