Couldn’t find a general thread for the ELR and have a quick question.

Does anyone know which Diesel is likely to be working this Sunday please?

Great thank you. I was not aware of this site and was using the main one to no avail.

Interesting to see that they are hoping to have 58023 in the Summer!
And a big Syphon lined up for the Diesel Gala. :D

There is a loco roster on the main website. Scroll down to the small print near the end and click on loco roster!

There is, but that's only for the steam loco(s). It has a link to the Diesel Group's website and their own roster, which is what I linked the OP to in post #2

An updated timetable for the Saturday of the gala has been posted on Facebook.

More 37 thrash, by popular demand!

However, I think I might switch my plans and go on Sunday to get some runs from the 20 too.

I was there yesterday - a little bit low key by comparison with some past ELR galas, but compared to the KWVR a few weeks ago, a much better timetable with 15-20 minutes at each end and plenty of time at Bury, so no need for people to charge around to get their photos.

It was relatively quiet today, especially away from the guest loco set.

Hopefully the visitor numbers were higher on previous days.
