Also like to add how friendly & well mannered the staff were on the GWSR yesterday

I keep saying it

Manners cost nothing & leave a standing impression on the recipient

I’ll definitely be back

Relive all the Diesel Gala from Friday in what is my longest video to date, now available for viewing on my main YouTube Channel, Wonterland.

Out of all the visiting engines for this event, this was the one I wanted to see more than anything else.

Some of the remaining images from Friday's trip, which involved us walking back to the field located between Corfe Castle and Norden to watch the trains go by.

…and finally, no Swanage Railway Diesel Gala would be complete without the railway's resident BR Class 33 D6515 'Lt Jenny Lewis RN'.

Marking the 2nd year in a row this type of engine has attended a Swanage Diesel Gala (even it's a lone one this time instead of a pair) BR Class 20 20066 from Shaun Wright.

Some more images of the unit, being hauled by the air-braked visiting engines.

Imagine if it could run under it's own power as well?
