Shildon 2008
We held our second exhibition at the Locomotion Museum at Shildon on May 25/26th 2008. After discussions with - and at the request of - the Manager of the Museum we produced a "Cavalcade of Locomotives through the Ages". This started in 1829 with Locomotion through to the latest built, which was in 2002.
