| See two newly restored locos. |
It has been a very long time since we steamed two newly restored locos on the same day but this coming Sunday we will be doing just that.
'Zambezi' was built in Leeds in 1912. Exported to Mozambique it worked at the Sena Sugar Estates until about 1965. It came to Bredgar in 1998 and required extensive work, including re-gauging from 1ft. 7.5 ins. to 2ft. and a new boiler to be fitted. All done.
'Helge' was built in Berlin in 1936 and worked on large construction sites in Northern Germany until 1957. It was brought to Bredgar in 1999 - as a large kit of parts but without a complete boiler. Now completely overhauled and with a new boiler fitted it will return to service in June.
We also have a new updated and more extensive guide book with lots of new information. The new standard guide book price on the gate is £4 however print this email and get your copy for just £3.
We can't guarantee the weather , although it does look like it could be kind to us, but we can guarantee a really good time with new things to see. We are going to be joined by the G.Scale Society and there will be a model aircraft display from the Medway Model Flying Club. Come join us - kids of all ages welcome!!!.
