    • GWR 4930 Hagley Hall, paired with GWR carriages.
    • GWR 1450, operating in push-pull mode with an Autocoach.

    Would have thought a good event to get the HST out for? Either way, looks excellent - count me in!

    That would explain why it wasn't about for the diesel gala.

    Is it too early to ask for which way the steam locos are planned to be facing? I suppose it depends on when 60163 arrives and how the Hall and Mogul are loaded?

    Is it a little too early still to be able to confirm which way the kettles are facing? Very much looking forward to event, will be my first time seeing 46115
