Guest Locomotives
Freightliner Class 47, 47830 and Class 70, 70014 both traveled to the 2024 Summer Diesel Gala. ELR is very grateful for Freightliner’s generous support for this event.
Class 20, 20066 - courtesy of HNRC. A much sought-after locomotive by enthusiasts, the veteran ‘Chopper’ last operated a passenger service on the mainline in 1993, and many enthusiasts will have fond memories of this fine locomotive returning on a railtour from Worcester Open Day, heading up the steeply-graded Lickey Bank, paired with a fellow classmate.
Class 26, 26007 - courtesy of KOZZY-RAIL. Recently outshopped in ‘trainload coal’ livery, this popular locomotive returns to ELR as it appeared when working specially over the Settle-Carlisle line back in February 1990.
Class 37, 37425 - courtesy of HNRC. A popular locomotive with English Electric Enthusiasts.
Class 47, D1645 / 47830 - courtesy of Freightliner.
Class 70, 70014 - courtesy of Freightliner.
See and ride behind your favourite engines from the ELR home fleet, with an intensive all diesel timetable for three whole days.
This is one of the most popular annual enthusiast events of the year, so don’t miss out.
