Photo Charter with LM336
September 14 @ 5:00 pm - 8:30 pm
On two Saturdays, 7th & 14th of September we will be holding two of our evening photographic events, sort of charters.
This year we will be showcasing our newly arrived ex-Bord Na Mona Hunslet Wagonmaster LM336 on a selection of our freight and p-way stock.
We plan to do various movements and run-pasts, both with LM336 solo, and in cameos with our Simplex 4WDM and Schoma 4WDH.
The events start after our normal open day running, probably around 5.00pm allowing for crew being fed etc. and will run until shortly after sunset, so around 8.00 – 8.30 pm. The café has been requested until at least 5.00pm, they may do later just for drinks.
There will be supervised lineside access following the usual safety briefing.
No need to book, although a PM advising if you intend to join us would be welcome, fee is £5 per night, payable on the night.
Usual charter sensible rules, ladders if you are brave enough on soft ground, drones if properly licensed.
As far as we are aware these are the first significant photo opportunities with a BNM Wagonmaster on the UK mainland.
We look forward to seeing you at the event.
Cosmetically the loco is in as delivered condition, with the addition of reproduction Hunslet and Wagonmaster plates, we are running it in this condition to give a fell of what these locos would have looked like in service.
