The “Made in Staffordshire†theme was reflected by the use of four Staffordshire built steam locomotives – two Apedale resident Kerr Stuarts, a Bagnall and a Hunslet built at Statfold.
Subject to any problems, it is planned to steam both of the Kerr Stuart locomotives “Stanhope†and the Joffreâ€.
This will give the rare opportunity to see two Kerr Stuart locomotives in operation together, just a handful of miles from where they were built.
