THE Great Central Railway’s previously announced September 2-4 diesel gala was changed to a ‘diesel running weekend’ due to a shortage of visiting locos. Home fleet locos, Nos. D123, D6700, 37714 Cardiff Canton and D5185 ran to a special timetable, but with standard fares.
Class 25, Sulzer Type 2 No. D5185 (25035), made its final appearance before undergoing an overhaul.
