We attended the “Once in a Blue Moon” event at Didcot Railway Centre this weekend with our stand. The event was well-attended and we were particularly pleased to have a presence at our future home site.

The event was hosted to celebrate the coming-together of three steam locomotives in BR express passenger blue livery – King Edward II, Tornado and Sir Nigel Gresley.

Lots of visitors, both from within the Great Western Society and outside were very interested in what we were doing, which is very encouraging. We hope to build some stronger links between our organisation and the GWS volunteers in the near future; watch this space!
