The SDR, helped by the DDS and SDDT held an English Electric Flavoured Diesel gala on the 11th and 12th of June. Deltic 55 019 , 20 096 and 20 905 joined us from Barrow Hill. They were brought down by 47 150, which stabled for the weekend at Totnes.
The weekend was a great success and all the locos behaved themselves. The only glitch was on Sunday afternoon, some local maniac got on the line and had to be removed by the police. This caused the triple headed twenties to be cancelled, which was a shame.
Many thanks to the Deltic Preservation Group, The Harry Needle Railroad Company and Associates for the engines and to everybody who helped make the the weekend such as a success. Photographs by R.Bruford & A.Waldron
