    I'd like to see a 'non-standard' GWR gala - all the surviving weird and wonderful locos no-one ever thinks of when they think of Swindon and all things Western - so:

    1501
    1338
    1340
    Railcar 22
    Railmotor 93
    18000
    A representative from the Narrow Gauge - Sir Haydn, or Edward Thomas perhaps?!
    Sentinel 12
    TVR 0-6-2T
    PTR 813
    921
    1378
    Pontyberem (representing its classmates that did go into GWR ownership)

    You could add an ex- Alexandra Docks 0-6-4 T running as G.W.R. 1346 (That one survived long enough to carry brass cabside number plates). Two members of the class still in existance.
