			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: red;">Great Northern Steam Company announce the launch of the new</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"><strong><span style="font-size: 18pt; font-family: Arial;">‘OLYMPIC 2012 LOCOMOTIVE’ </span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: red;">&gt;&gt;Investment </span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: red;">Opportunity</span></strong><strong><span style="font-family: Arial; color: red;">&lt;&lt;</span></strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">After the success of the </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Darlington</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> built A1 Class <strong>‘Tornado’</strong> GNS announce the 1st NEW CLASS V/09 ATLANTIC </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">4-4-2</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> to be built since the early 1900’s. This Fabulous New Locomotive will be formally named <strong>‘OLYMPIC 2012’</strong> in preparation of the forth coming London 2012 Olympic Games</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Originally built in </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Darlington</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> the last of these truly magnificent locomotives left for main line operation in 1910 – This will be nearly 100 Years to the day since the last of these legends of the Railways were produced.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Both Class V&amp;Z Locomotives were regarded as the ‘best looking locomotives of the time’ and NOW we have the opportunity to recreate British Steam Railway History.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">This Fabulous New Locomotive will be built by our specialist team of engineers at our New Darlington Engineering &amp; Locomotive Works situated just meters away from the original locomotive works. As we all know </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Darlington</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> is world famous for the home of George Stephenson’s first public railway line between Stockton &amp; Darlington launched in 1825, so what better place to bring to life another piece of British Railway history </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Unfortunately none of this Class of Locomotive survived into preservation so this really is an exciting project for us all to be involved in.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">This Class of Locomotive is of a size that will generate interest from both Heritage and </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Main Line</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> operators, of which many of the current Steam Locomotives in service are regrettably coming to the end of their graceful lives.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">This classic looking Victorian Locomotive is being offered as an Investment opportunity to both Locomotive Enthusiast and the Corporate Sector. The total estimated cost of recreating this fabulous locomotive will be circa £1.2M of which we are looking at raising £600,000 from donations and private investors who will all have the opportunity to financially benefit from its operational use once completed and in service. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Unlike Tornado <span style="text-decoration: underline;">ALL</span> of its main components including the Boiler will be manufactured within the </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">UK</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">, most of which in </span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">Darlington</span><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> and the surrounding area, once again securing more jobs to the much needed North East of England.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">For more information on this exciting project please contact Mark Hemming on 0845 313 1052 or email <a href="mailto:sales@greatnorthernsteam.co.uk">sales@greatnorthernsteam.co.uk</a> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial;">We have TWO images on our website of this fabulous looking locomotive, from our home page just click on the NEWS icon to be directed to our press releases and more detail</span></p>
