    Looks like it will be a great event with a Plymouth Laira theme.
    When I first opened the email I received from the Watercress Line this evening about this event it went through to a page with details of the visiting locomotives. The page didn't load up fully but now it has changed to one without the details of the visiting locomotives. I won't reveal the locos on here as I will wait for the railway to officially announce the visitors but fans of vintage traction will be pleased.
    I will definitely be attending this Gala.

    As far as I’m aware most locos are ageeed and signed up etc, just waiting a couple of i’s to dot and t’s to cross so maybe there’s been a mix up in the advertising dept and there’s a 2nd press release to come after the steam gala!


    Needless to say the line up is one we’ve wanted for years so finally it’s good to get it. One of our desired locos want available due to crewing availability which is a shame but we will aim to get it another year!
