More attendees for PftP!!!

22nd March 2010

Right – where were we up to?! A few more exciting exhibits for April 15th to 18th confirmed or in the process of being confirmed…

Below: The National Tramway Museum is very kindly bringing their newly restored Cardiff Water Car No.131 to the event. We are hugely grateful to them for this and look forward to welcoming the tram and its support crew here for the event.

Below: Not the best photo, but Peter Walker is bringing his 1933 Sentinel S6 steam lorry, in Tarmac livery, for the event – I am hoping our Tarmac living van will be finished in time to pose the two together…

Below: Another special guest – Kerr Stuart Wren 3114 from the Vale of Rheidol Railway in Wales. I am particularly pleased this engine will be attending (as well as Peter Pan) so we can recreate something of the Durham County Water Board construction railways. It is also only its second visit to a UK railway site (the other was Amerton) so I hope the visitors will be able to really appreciate the pair at work!

Below: Ian Thompson has confirmed he is coming with his Foden Steam lorry – seen here at Beamish a few years ago.

Below: Roy Wakefield will be bringing another Beamish past participant – his Mann steam tractor ‘Brinkburn Lass’.
