Today - Thursday 27th November 2009 - Bon-Accord was successfully steamed AND HAS PASSED ITS FINAL STEAM TEST INSPECTION This marks the official completion of the restoration of this 1897 Andrew Barclay locomotive, formally used at the Gas Works in Aberdeen. An amazing achievement by all the volunteers and members of the Bon-Accord Locomotive Society over many years, and made possible by grants from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, and personal and corporate sponsors. The fight to preserve Bon-Accord began back in 1964! Click HERE to view video of the Steam Up on You-Tube

 As the remaining engineering works come to close to an end, Bon-Accord has received her first new coat of shiny gloss paint - As any fan of RW Awdry knows, a new coat of paint is reward indeed for a being a "Really Useful Engine" and we are increasingly excited about seeing a complete and restored Bon-Accord back in steam.

The Return of the Bon-Accord website PDF Print E-mail

Unfortunately, the Bon-Accord website was the subject of an attack by hackers. Whilst this was more of a mischevious attack than a malicious one, the decision was made to use that as a good excuse to give the website a totally new and fresh look. It has, unfortunately taken some time, but we're back now Smile

To mark the return of the site we've added 80 all-new photos from a bygone era of Bon-Accord and her sister locomotives, along with new photos of the old Aberdeen Gas Works to our new Gallery
