  The Standard Steam Locomotive Company is honoured to announce that His Royal Highness, The Duke of Gloucester, has graciously accepted the invitation to become Patron of the 72010 Hengist locomotive project.

The support of His Royal Highness as Patron brings considerable prestige and encouragement to our dedicated team of volunteers, engineers, and supporters. It also strengthens our commitment to delivering a project that not only honours the past but inspires future generations through education, skills development and community engagement.

We believe this patronage will play a vital role in promoting our long-term educational and heritage objectives, as we continue working towards the completion and operation of Hengist for the benefit of the public and the preservation of our national story.
