The Severn Valley Railway is pleased to announce that subject to availability, Class 25 no. D7628 will appear at its Autumn Diesel Bash taking place between 3 and 6 October.
The locomotive is owned by the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) and can usually be found working the Esk Valley trains to Whitby.
‘We’re extremely grateful to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway for agreeing to D7628’s appearance,’ said Jonathan ‘Gus’ Dunster, the SVR’s managing director. ‘Securing this locomotive is quite a ‘coup’ as it is very rarely seen away from the NYMR and we are very pleased to be hosting it.’
The loco will be appearing at the Autumn Diesel Bash alongside SVR home locomotives and Class 25 No. 25262 previously announced. The popular four-day heritage diesel celebration operates a busy timetable and attracts visitors from all over the country.
