Steam loco 76084.

Thanks for the swift reply Matt. I suspected it was a steam loco even though it's described on the web page as a diesel. NYMR are having an Autumn Welsh Steam Gala next weekend on 30th September.

I suspect rather than being timed as a steam loco it's been timed as a 60mph freight due to a lack of suitable 60mph steam timings.

Of course, that makes perfect sense! Thank you.
