    No thread for this at the moment I don't think.

    The ESR are holding their spring gala on the 24/5 of March. Both Ivatt 2mt 46447 and GWR 56xx 5637 will be operating passenger and freight trains throughout the weekend. 1719 'Lady Nan' will also be operating driver for a tenner at Cranmore MPD. This will be her first public operating day under her new boiler certificate following a fast track overhaul last summer. It will also be possible to view 52xx 5239 'Goliath' in the early stages of her contract overhaul for the Dartmouth Steam Railway.

    ESR web page for the event, including timetable, available here:
