SUMMARY:The LMS Patriot Project
DESCRIPTION:The project is recreating a working replica of an express steam locomotive type – the London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) ‘Patriot’ class – which did not survive in the 1960’s\, when steam traction ended on the then British Railways. When complete\, it will join a select family of other LMS express passenger locomotives that still operate on our UK railway. \nThe present forecast sees the locomotive completed by 2029\, dependent on our donations trend. Thereafter we intend that the locomotive will be visible as a working memorial on regular display and hauling heritage trains on tours and at special events for many years to come.

SUMMARY:The History of the Mansfield to Worksop Railway
DESCRIPTION:Denis Hill will take a brief look at how different railways had already reached Mansfield and Worksop but had not joined the two together. We look at the fight to make that connection and to see just what it provided and how it boosted the local economy.

SUMMARY:Hydrogen Trains
DESCRIPTION:David Shirres will talk to us about hydrogen trains via a Zoom meeting \nTo meet climate emission targets the world has to wean itself off petroleum. To do so it has been estimated that hydrogen will account for 5 to 15% of the world’s energy supply by 2050. In his presentation David will explain why this nascent hydrogen economy is the key to understanding the need for hydrogen trains. His presentation will also explain the pros and cons of these trains and how they can be supplied with hydrogen. Finally\, it will describe the three quite different UK hydrogen train initiatives. \nTo register in advance for this meeting: \nhttps://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcocO2orTgvGN0n5ZsDaHa4jMSSsJqAZEVY \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting. \n
