About

Many visitors won’t remember steam traction, so the Diesel Gala brings back memories of these heritage machines that worked right from the end of steam up until recent memory – and in some cases, continue to do so!

Plus step behind the scenes during the Gala weekend and experience the sights, sounds and atmosphere of a working locomotive shed. This guided tour offers a rare opportunity to get up close to both steam and diesel locomotives, brought to life with knowledgeable commentary from your experienced guide.
