Description
Returning once again to the Great Central Railway Diesel Gala, with Class 42 Warship D821 "Greyhound" and South Devon resident Class 25 D7535 visiting for the event, running a mixture of passenger trains and freight demonstrations with the GCR's Mineral Wagon set.

The event also saw extensive running of recent addition to the Great Central Railway home fleet, 50017 "Royal Oak", having arrived at the railway back in February after being put up for sale. The Hoover also appeared alongside a wide selection of the remaining GCR home fleet, including Class 25 D5185 and 37714 "Cardiff Canton"

In addition to the range of diesel locos, the Quorn Wagon and Wagon Group's latest restoration project, ADB 975397 (aka Test Car 2), was on proud display, sporting her original BR Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineers livery. This particular vehicle was used between 1974 and 2011 as a means to carry out slip/break testing on new rolling stock entering service on the British Railway Network.
