    Clue for the 3rd and final visitor.

    "We won’t keep you waiting as long this time, who’s ready for another guest announcement for our 2026 Autumn Steam Gala!

    A few teasers to get everyone guessing…

    - An ELR debut, the very first time this particular loco is visiting our railway…
    - Built the same year that L&Y 1300 entered traffic, and the same year L&Y 752 was rebuilt as a saddle tank locomotive…
    - The furthest North that this loco has ever been!..

    We can’t wait for this one! Stay tuned at 6pm this evening "
