    I have this one pencilled in, subject to the Deltic being used on passenger rides. Last year's gala didn't utilise all the locos and I'm only interested in the Deltic and the prototype hst which I know isn't yet able to work passenger trains!
    I really enjoyed Didcot's Blue Gala a few weeks ago!

    Some if not all of the items are already at Didcot, I saw at least 3 as I passed this morning.

    I would imagine they are all in - the 37, 41 and 47 were pictured under the coaling stage earlier in the week and the Deltic was shown there in the last couple of days. The 14 was shown in the shed yesterday - these pictures all via the Didcot twitter feed.

    The website certainly suggests so-think attendances will rise somewhat if this is the case. Now hoping for a roster and not a turn up 1000 and wait until 1500 for 08879.

    Posted to their Facebook page today - 08's double heading on the branch from 12:45 to 15:20.

    DIESEL GALA TIMINGS 24, 25 AND 26 MAY
    These are the times when we aim to have the various locomotives operating each day of the gala:
    1030 D9516 and goods train on Branch Line and D6700 Main Demonstration Line with passenger train...
    1130 D9516 off Branch and Railcar 22 operates passenger on Branch
    1200 D6700 off Main, and swaps with D9516
    1245 22 off Branch and swap with the two 08s double heading
    1300 D9516 off Main and swaps with the Class 47
    1430 Deltic joins the 47 for double heading
    1520 08s off Branch and 22 operates
    1600 47 off Main and Deltic operates on its own
    1645 Branch stops
    1700 Main stops.
    We have two running lines within the railway centre. The Main Line is parallel with the Network Rail east curve so you can see today's trains operating alongside our vintage ones.
    The Branch Line is more rural in nature and has semaphore signalling. The signal box from Radstock will be open for visits.
    The Thames Valley Signalling Centre will also be open for conducted tours at 1000 and 1300 each day.
    The Black Python real ale bar will be open. You can also visit the engine shed and carriage shed. There is a Museum and Archive displaying small artefacts and posters, and the original air raid shelter from 1940.
