Photographers will have a chance to capture the magic of restored steam locomotives at night.

The Great Western Society's annual photographers' evenings will be held at Didcot Railway Centre on Friday and Saturday. The centre will stay open until 10pm while engines' fires are "thrown out".

The centre is open throughout the day on both days, but spokesman Jeanette Howse said: "Friday night is aimed specifically at serious photographers, starting at 5pm."

The engines in steam will be the Castle Class Earl Bathurst and 2-6-2 tank engine No 4144.

They will be displayed along with the Pendennis Castle, which recently returned from Australia but will not be in steam.

A saddle tank engine will be posed in the transfer shed with another saddle tank engine near the Radstock signalbox.

On Saturday, trains will run all day from 11am, with a pannier tank engine and a diesel railcar also in action.
