Anyone been there Saturday? Great day. Weather bit cloudy but some sunshine too. 37216, 37219, D5627, 73128 all working well despite a few oil / water leaks from various orifices!!

I went on the Sunday as planned and it was a great time. The noise off the 37s going up the bank, phwoar! Shame the 31 didn't work on the Sunday, but these things happen. I've got to go back again for 37421 when it's ready anyway, so hopefully 31203 will work on the same day

Yes glad you mentioned 421, did you visit her inside the shed? can't wait to see her out in Regional livery!

Nah, didn't have time for that. Can't wait for her to be finished in Regional Railways colours, should look awesome

So long as the beast sounds good too, then I'll be very happy

Sounds excellent day out, anyone know when the railway will do another Diesel Gala in 2012..?

A post on the WNXX forum suggests there will be TWO diesel galas next year. One in May and one in October, although exact dates I do not have.
