Didcot: Launch of Steam Railmotor No.93 and visit of No.60163 "Tornado"

This weekend sees the launch of GWR Steam Railmotor No.93 at Didcot Railway Centre, Oxfordshire. the restoration began in 1998 and was completed in April this year. The railmotor will operate on the main demonstration line alongside a selection of diesel rail cars this weekend courtesy of Chiltern Rail.



On 11th June, Didcot will play host to A1 Peppercorn Pacific No.60163 "Tornado". She will be operating on the Demonstration Line  alongside No.93 and possibly GWR "King" No.6023 "King Edward II". Sadly, we cannot make the event due to commitments at the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch Railway on the day. We will of course, keep you posted with the latest news from Didcot.
