    We've another visiting diesel in the form of Class 33/2 33202 'Dennis.G.Robinson'. The locomotive is historically appropriate to the route being built to operate on the Hastings Line!

    This takes the number of locomotives in action to 6 big, 1 shunter & our DEMU 1317, this is our biggest gala to date!
