Autumn Steam Gala at Didcot Railway Centre

The Great Western Society's annual steam gala takes a Victorian theme, starring visiting Great Eastern Railway 0-4-0 saddle tank No 229, the Coffee Pot, built by Neilson in Glasgow in 1876 and on loan from The Flour Mill. Steam trains run on both demonstration lines with autotrain workings, freight and shunting demonstrations, plus the signal box, turntable and coal stage in action.
