A train driver from Wiltshire who was killed in the Selby rail disaster is to be commemorated by a miniature railway locomotive. A train at Avon Valley Adventure & Wildlife Park, near Keynsham, has been named after Stephen Dunn (link below.) http://thisisbath.co.uk/displayNode.jsp?nodeId=163490&command=displayContent&sourceNode=163316&contentPK=20134201&folderPk=89126&pNodeId=163047Mr Dunn, whose family live in Trowbridge, was one of 10 people killed in February 2001 in Yorkshire. The owner of the park's Strawberry Line Miniature railway, Mike Bass, is a former colleague of Mr Dunn. He has honoured him by adding a five-inch gauge locomotive to his fleet. It is a miniature version of main line locomotive number 66526 and has been painted in the correct operating company branding of Freightliner. The miniature railway is open for a new season. Further details are available by calling Mr Bass on 07960 151286.
