S&DR 200 Weekend - Friday @ Shildon

The train waiting at Shildon to start its 3-day commemorative journey to Stockton
Some of the several thousand people behind the camera & along the route, waiting for the 'off'
Introductory speeches
The real Locomotion in the hall of Locomotion, next to an HST
Under weigh, next to Shildon coal drops, driven by NYMR's Chris Cubitt ......
..... with Guy Martin on the footplate & the Duke & Duchess of Edinburgh in the carriage
The very light rail (6.5t axle) battery electric vehicle on display outside the storage shed - not a tram,
 but intended to run on low-cost lightly-relaid dormant & new routes, to interface with 'heavy' rail
