East Lancashire Railway - Diesel Gala - 14th September 2024
Saturday of the ELR Autumn Diesel Gala. Unfortunatley on the Friday there were a few failures, so no class 50, but 40012 was able to come out in the afternoon. I head the class 25 had been resurected, but didn't see it during the day. Star of the day was 56006 that came out in the afternoon and brought back many memories of watching them hauling MGR's out of the local collieries.
