The Didcot Railway Centre has announced that GWR Large Prairie No. 5199 will be visiting them in 2024.
The visit of the locomotive will take place in February 2024 and will see the Prairie operating alongside home based loco 4144 and 6106 (the latter on static display) on the 10th, 11th, 14th, 17th and 18th February 2024.
Didcot is home to a vast variety of GWR locomotives and rolling stock, and this is a rare chance to see a 51XX class of locomotive line up with a 41XX and a 61XX together.
The visit of 5199 is thanks to its owners, The 5199 Project.
