Thanks to everyone who came to the Autumn Diesel Gala. The event was not without its challenges but we hope you have all had a great couple of days and we're looking forward to seeing photos and videos through the usual channels! It's fair to say D2956 and 56006 proved very popular and we congratulate the Class 56 Group and ELRDG helpers on their great work.

Thanks are due as ever to the ELR Staff and Volunteers, plus the Loco Groups and Reps who have assisted in delivering the goods once again. Cheers All!

The ELR and CFPS are hosting a special day to celebrate 40 Years of D345/40145 in Preservation. Saturday 28th September - Two diesel sets in operation with 37109 and 40012 also featuring alongside a steam hauled service. Travel with Standard Rover Ticket prices. Not to be Missed!
