The Bluebell Railway has announced three diesel locomotives that are confirmed to attend their diesel gala.
Which Diesels?
The types of diesel confirmed to attend the gala are:
- Class 45 ‘Peak' No.45041 “Royal Tank Regiment” (BR Blue)
- Class 46 ‘Peak' No.D182 ” (BR Blue)
- Class 31 No.31271 “Stratford 1840-2001” (Trainload Construction)
None of these three have visited the Bluebell Railway, making this gala the first opportunity for enthusiasts to capture their first visit to the railway in preservation.
About the Diesel Gala
The gala takes place from Friday the 23rd until Sunday the 25th of March. The gala will feature brake van rides, 3 sets of 6 Cars with 12 Car Set on Friday and Saturday late afternoon and Saturday evening trains, with sausage and mash in the Bessemer Arms. Adult tickets start at £25, with children's (3-15) starting at £12.50.
This event will be added to RailAdvent's Calendar in due course.

For more information
Just a few corrections to your article if we may. We’ll be using three 6-coach sets, not 3 and 6 coach sets (with the 12-coach train in late afternoon on Friday and Saturday).
The evening trains are on Saturday, not Sunday.
