ELR Winter Steam Gala

The Duke of Gloucester's next appearance will be at the East Lancashire Railway's Winter Steam Gala on 21st and 22nd of January 2012.

At the gala there will be a sales stand selling a range of 71000 steam memorabilia.

New for the gala will be a 71000 branded tie, a 71000 embroidered sweater available in large and extra large and a new booklet on British Caprotti valve gear.

Of particular interest is the offer for sale of a number of items from the Trust vaults including one limited edition framed print by Mark White commissioned by the Trust in 1996.  The print below has been presented to the Trust by Mark.

Also on offer is a large framed print of the "Children in Need Special" with 71000 hauling the first steam train out of Euston in 1995 since the end of steam.

Not only will there be 71000 branded memorabilia but also new items such as framed prints, DVDs and books of general steam interest all at very reasonable prices.

Credit and debit cards are welcome so you will be able to take advantage of our tremendous offers.

All proceeds go toward the upkeep of the locomotive and all our staff are unpaid volunteers.
