Hello all,
Recieved a slightly unusual phone call at the railway on Tuesday from a Tim Collins from Outokumpu Stainless Ltd, based in Sheffield. He was interested in hiring a steam locomotive to shunt round thir yard for a few days in June.
I happened to mentioned that I was a member of the club, and that if I put of post on the forum, perhaps some members might be interested in attending on one of the days.
According to Tim, some of the stainless steel produced at the very plant they're in, was sent over to the Belfast plant. He also added that "John DeLorean still owes us money."
His full e-mail is below:
Dear Paul,
Further to our conversations today, please find below some info about the stainless steel centenary events.
Outokumpu Stainless Ltd is arranging 3 days of celebrations in Sheffield in honour of Harry Brearley who invented stainless steel in Sheffield in 1913. Please see the link to get a fuller context of planned events.

Thursday 13th June will be a customers and suppliers day with plant tours and formal lunch. The follow 2 days will be friends and family days which will still be filled with the plant tours but have a more informal approach. The Sheffield plant comprises (on our main manufacturing site) a stainless steel melting shop, a stainless manufacturing business for bar products and a stainless finishing and distribution business for flat and tubular products.
We would be delighted to welcome any members of the Delorean Owners Club that would be interested in giving up a day to proudly display one of the iconic DMC vehicles that has certainly been manufactured using stainless steel produced from our Sheffield site. We would be happy to offer any willing DMC owners some level of reimbursement to cover petrol and incidental expenses on the day, in return for being part of our centenary celebrations.
If you require any further information please do not hesitate to call.
Thank you for your sincere interest.
Best regards.
Tim
With this in mind, perhaps somebody might be interested in attending on Saturday 15th? What do you think?
