I've tried several avenues of searching with all the key German language phrases. I found it mentioned in one railway event planner but the link to the organiser website drew a blank.

I wonder if it was planned but is now cancelled?

Not really I'm afraid.

This site is a wide ranging guide to railway and associated tourist attractions across Saxony. I had already checked here before posting my previous information and found nothing of help.

The site mentions the Chemnitz Heizhausfest (but without much detail) which I believe was the intended destination of the trip from Frankfurt of which there is no mention

That is the railway event planner I mentioned in my earlier post, so my comment

"I found it mentioned in one railway event planner but the link to the organiser website drew a blank. I wonder if it was planned but is now cancelled? "

still stands.

On a train somewhere in Europe
If the tour was from Frankfurt then it was probably run by Historische Eisenbahn Frankfurt but there is no sign of that trip on their website so, as others have pointed out, it has probably been cancelled.

If you are looking for things to do during your trip then have a look at the Lok Report Termine section and the similar section on the Drehscheibe website. You will often find with tours in Germany that if they do not get sufficient bookings to make the tour viable by a cut-off date then it will get cancelled.
