Photographers from across the country flocked to Swindon's Steam museum to take part in an atmospheric night-time shoot which transported them back in time to a by-gone era.

Run in conjunction with heritage photography experts Timeline Events, a cast of re-enactors in period dress and specialist lighting and smoke effects helped add to the atmosphere alongside famous locomotives King George V, Caerphilly Castle and the City of Truro.

Cameos on the night included scenes within the museum’s evocative Boiler Shop and Railway Works Offices giving photographers of all abilities the opportunity to perfect their skills. 

Owner of Timeline Events, Neil Cave said: “Steam is the perfect venue for us as the museum is already set in the 1930s period and the collection of Great Western locomotives you have in Swindon is world class."

Organisers have scheduled another session to meet demand on 30 November and are urging anyone interested to book early to avoid any disappointment. 

Tickets are just £45 per person and available through the www.timelineevents.org website. The evening sessions start at 6pm and finish at 11pm.
