A massive Thank You to everyone who came along for the Summer Diesel Gala. We're enjoying seeing your photos and videos of the event!
We're very grateful to Swietelsky Rail and Edward Stevenson for providing visiting traction and locomotive reps. Great to see the return of 25279 and D8069's debut gala appearance too!
We are, as ever, indebted to the ELR Volunteers and Staff across all departments who help to make such events possible. Thanks All!
