Great Northern Steam Company announce the launch of the new
‘OLYMPIC 2012 LOCOMOTIVE’
>>Investment Opportunity<<
After the success of the Darlington built A1 Class ‘Tornado’ GNS announce the 1st NEW CLASS V/09 ATLANTIC 4-4-2 to be built since the early 1900’s. This Fabulous New Locomotive will be formally named ‘OLYMPIC 2012’ in preparation of the forth coming London 2012 Olympic Games
Originally built in Darlington 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.
Both Class V&Z Locomotives were regarded as the ‘best looking locomotives of the time’ and NOW we have the opportunity to recreate British Steam Railway History.
This Fabulous New Locomotive will be built by our specialist team of engineers at our New Darlington Engineering & Locomotive Works situated just meters away from the original locomotive works. As we all know Darlington is world famous for the home of George Stephenson’s first public railway line between Stockton & Darlington launched in 1825, so what better place to bring to life another piece of British Railway history
Unfortunately none of this Class of Locomotive survived into preservation so this really is an exciting project for us all to be involved in.
This Class of Locomotive is of a size that will generate interest from both Heritage and Main Line operators, of which many of the current Steam Locomotives in service are regrettably coming to the end of their graceful lives.
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.
Unlike Tornado ALL of its main components including the Boiler will be manufactured within the UK, most of which in Darlington and the surrounding area, once again securing more jobs to the much needed North East of England.
