A GB Railfreight Class 56 locomotive is set to visit the Severn Valley Railway for its Autumn Diesel Bash.
The SVR says that it might be the final chance to have a ride behind a GBRf Class 56 locomotive, with the class being converted to Class 69s soon
The Class 56 will join 55009 ‘Alycidon' at the event, which is set to take place from the 29th September until the 2nd October.
The 56 will only operate on the Saturday and Sunday of the event.
These visitors will join the home fleet of Class 50, 52, 40, 14 and 20 as well as 46 and 31.
Gus Dunster, deputy chairman of the Severn Valley Railway, said: “We're grateful to GBRf for their support with our event and are looking forward to seeing a Class 56 run on the SVR.
