The two surviving "King" class locomotives No.6023 "King Edward II" and 6024 "King Edward I" will be meeting for the first time in 49 years at Didcot Railway Centre this coming Saturday, 23rd April. I have had the camera charged up and ready, so it's all in hand.
I will be filming material there for the first edition of our "New Romney Productions Steam Magazine series", which covers sme of the most notable events in the period from January to April 2011, culmintating with extensive footage celebrating the return of "King Edward II." There will be plenty of footage of the "King" class locos Double Heading.
This material will go into the DVD as a special supplement which includes:
Footage of 6023 on Sunday 2nd April after its public launch
Extensive coverage of "The Two Working Kings" Event
The first issue is expected to be released in early May 2011. The full programme includes:
New Year Gala at the Swanley New Barn Railway
"Birch Grove" at the Bluebell Railway in Late January
The West Somerset Railway Spring Steam Gala, celebrating its 35th Anniversary
Update from the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway
Plus the special supplement celebrating the return to steam of "King Edward II"
There'll be plenty more to come from Didcot in September 2011, when the Great Western Railway Preservation Society will be celebrating their 50th Anniversary with a special Gala event. Our production, "GWS 50" will cover the events there.
So as you can see, there's plenty of Great Western action to come from New Romney Productions.

Chris Nelson,
2nd Cameraman
