Lecture ‘Thunderbolt‘ Thursday 30th March 2023

The Leeds Grammar School Locomotive

A talk about the history and recent restoration of a miniature steam locomotive, built 50 years ago in the workshops at Leeds Grammar School…..

Mark driving Thunderbolt in Wakefield at the model show….

The Thunderbolt project got underway alongside another project to build a model Sentinel locomotive and after several years of work, quite a lot of which was outside school hours, Thunderbolt was completed. It was run at model shows and raised funds for charities.

Thought to have been consigned to history, Mark came across and acquired the locomotive, which was in a sorry state, and set about restoring it to its former glory…. and beyond !

Come along for Mark’s illustrated talk on this historical model….

As usual we will retire to a local hostelry for further socialising and refreshments…
