Revolution Trains was delighted to be invited to Drax Power Station near Selby to celebrate the power station’s 50th anniversary – Drax 50. A GBRf Class 66 (66301) and one of the IIA-D biomass hoppers had been turned out in gold celebratory liveries for the occasion.
Following the unloading of the biomass at Drax, the special train was pathed back to Port of Tyne via an unusual route over the iconic Settle & Carlisle line with time factored in for a stop on Ribblehead Viaduct.
Revolution was commissioned by Drax to produce models of the striking wagon and a limited number will go on sale early next week with a portion of sales going to Drax’s charity of choice – Martin House Hospice. Watch this space for more information (and some video of the train over the viaduct!).
