SWITELSKY In the Spotlight & A HST Set? East Lancashire Railway Summer Diesel Gala 2026
Although it was a good day out, unfortunately the visiting locos were confined to the air braked set only plus the 56, meaning that the 20 got subbed off quite early into my day for the much unwanted 58. I also had to remove some shots due to the high wind which meant we moved locations more commonly and had less time at spots as some didn't work out. It wasn't the smoothest day but it worked out in the end. Unfortunately due to another issue I ended up getting home later than planned, meaning I was more tired and I decided to stay at home instead of planning another day at the ELR during the gala as I was unavailable over the weekend and did not want to do a back to back visit as I'd planned. I was very disappointed that I didn't see 20303 or 56006 but there will be some more 20 and 56 action getting uploaded to my channel soon!
