Greatest Gathering – Power Car Startup Experience

This will be done three times each day at 11:00; 13:00 and 15:00 and we are giving you the opportunity for a unique experience to prepare and start the power car in front of the events attendees. Proceeds from the experience will be shared equally between the 125 Group and the Greatest Gathering’s nominated charities
Description
125 Group needs to start one of its power cars during the Greatest Gathering to ensure that coaches are provided with electricity for cooling and power. This will be done three times each day at 11:00; 13:00 and 15:00 and we are giving you the opportunity for a unique experience to prepare and start the power car in front of the events attendees.
You will be met be one of our Engineering team and given a complete look over a power car. You will then be walked to the opposite end of our set to effect a full start up. You will be shown the process and invited to switch in the batteries ready for start. You will then enter the cab and ensure all the necessary switches are set in the electrical compartment before taking the driver’s seat. You will then insert the desk key and be talked through the process of starting – culminating in holding the start button until the engine roars into life. Once running, you will set the electric train supply and then have the opportunity to walk through the set and see the power operation at work.
You may bring one other person with you – who will be able to take photos/video of the occasion. After the start-up, you will be provided with a certificate to mark the event and a copy of a drivers guide for HST operation and fault finding.
To take up this unique opportunity, you must be fit enough to climb into and out of the HST cab from ground level and have a valid entry ticket for the Greatest Gathering event on the date of your experience. As the experience is part of the programmed operation of the Group, you must attend by the steps to the open power car 15 minutes before the appointed start time to enjoy this experience and no refunds can be given in the case of late or non arrival. Proceeds from the experience will be shared equally between the 125 Group and the Greatest Gathering’s nominated charities
