ORDER FORM

On Thursday 20th May, 1937, a special train with a capacity for 540 passengers left London Victoria, bound for Portsmouth and Southsea, from where the people transferred to the Medway Queen to take part in the Coronation Naval Review at Spithead. The passengers stayed overnight in Portsmouth and made the return trip on the following day.

This event is commemorated by the container numbers (37) of the latest wagons commissioned from Dapol to promote and support the restoration project for the paddle steamer Medway Queen. . Although the company did not run it's own wagons it is quite believable that a steam ship operator would do so. As with the previous container wagon this model is available in green on a GWR wagon and in blue on SR. Approximately 80 of each have been manufactured.
If you have any further information on the special train mentioned above or any pictures of Medway Queen at the 1937 Spithead Review please get in touch.

The society is also running a draw for a beautiful original oil painting of Medway Queen, dressed overall for a naval review, by Harley Crossley.Tickets are £1 each in books of 5. The draw will take place on Saturday 4th October at the
Kew Bridge Steam Museum "Festival of Models".
See 'Contents Bar' for more information.
