    A nice surprise. Latest visitor for the DFR Steam Gala 31st October - 1st November. <BJ>

    ''We’re delighted to confirm that joining LNWR Coal Tank No. 1054 and our home fleet for this year’s gala will be BR Standard 4 Tank No. 80078, with thanks to her owner.
    This veteran of the Eastern, Western and Midland regions started her BR life on the London Tilbury and Southend commuter traffic, before moving to Shrewsbury and later Croes Newydd before being withdrawn in 1965.
    Her visit marks the first of a BR Standard 4 Tank to the Dean Forest Railway, and quite possibly the first one along the branch!
    Tickets are available now for the gala weekend of 31st Oct / 1st Nov through our website – book now for the early bird discount''.
