ELR Diesel Group

Thursday 29th,

Friday 30th June and

Saturday 1st July

Just under 3 weeks to the Summer Diesel Gala and despite a few challenges we're pulling out all the stops again! Thursday 29th June to Saturday 1st July with some guest locos running on Sunday 2nd July, subject to confirmation.

We're THRILLED to announce the addition of 20305 and 37059 with sincere thanks to our friends at Harry Needle Railroad Company, joining D821 Greyhound thanks to our friends at DTG / Severn Valley.

We should have another visitor to announce shortly. More as soon as we have it.

D821 will be reunited once more with classmate D832 on the ELR. Two Blue Warships, Lovely!

Unfortunately 26038 and 37403 will no longer feature. Sincere thanks to 6LDA and SRPS for all their efforts.

Pre-Book Tickets Available! HRA and ATOC concessions available.

More to be announced soon, keep an eye on the usual channels!

We're looking forward to a fantastic long weekend. We hope to see you there! In the meantime, regular weekend running continues, see the Loco Roster for details.
