Yes it's going to be a great line up! very much looking forward to it! The unseen Loco, mmmmmmmmmm we've been sworn to secrecy!

 

[Whistler40145]

Do you mean a specific loco or class of loco that hasn't visited the ELR before?

Well rumours persist that Nimbus was never scrapped!! In Castlecroft for all these years?? Seriously speaking i think it would be great to keep it a secret till the actual day! mission impossible i know but how good would that be?

Why don't you resurrect a Class 58?

Have the following ever visited the ELR, Classes 58, 59 & 60?

Several class 60s visited when the Heywood branch was being used to bring in engineering / ballast trains in conjunction with track renewals on the Bury branch of the Metrolink in 2007. 60083 piloted a passenger train from Bury to Heywood (albeit unplanned) during the Wednesday of the July diesel gala in order to save a path. I didn't know about it until later in the day, and I was heading north from Bury (behind 37175) at the time.

The rate 58016 is progressing at Barrow Hill I wouldn't rule it out being ready in time for this year's gala.

Was at the front window for that one, cheers! Red pen as well!

You won't get many visitors coming long distances on vague promises of "something interesting" might work.

How are the Classes 15 & 28 progressing ?

Granted, if this was a smaller Diesel Event. However with 14/15 loco's announced i can tell you that there most definately is "something interesting" running already.

Come on, it would be nice to have a surprise on the day! even tho i concede someone would leak the mystery guest on a forum like this
