Great Western Memories - Didcot Railway Centre - 11th January 2020
Saturday 11th January 2020 provided a night of Great Western Railway nostalgia at the Didcot Railway Centre using GWR 4-6-0 'King' No.6023 'King Edward II' as the centre piece for an evenings photography under cover in the original Didcot steam shed.
The evening charter was organized by Timeline Events who have become masters at lighting scenes, providing atmospheric conditions alongside actors, which bring together some truly authentic reactions of the past.
King Edward II is painted in striking British Railways Blue, and looked at home stabled with former mainline express locomotives such as No.4079 'Pendennis Castle', No.5900 'Hinderton Hall', No.6998 'Burton Agnes Hall', and No.7808 'Cookham Manor'.
The evening was very well organized with three or four different scenes all operating at the same time to give the photographers plenty of time to move around the shed and take their images. A huge thanks must be given to the Actors who all give their time for free and help recreate scenes from the past.
