    7754 announced as first visitor as per Facebook:

    We are delighted to announce the visit of GWR Pannier Tank 7754 as our first visitor for the Spring Gala over the weekend of 14/15 March 2026.

    The ubiquitous Pannier tanks were common on the ESR in GWR and early BR days, and 7754 will be sure to make a grand sight tackling the Mendips at Cranmore alongside Prairies 4110 and 4555.

    This particular example is believed to be making the first visit away from it's Llangollen Railway Base since returning to service in 2023.

    This will be the first visit of a BR livery Pannier to the ESR since the 1990s following L92s visit in 2022.

    7754 appears with thanks to the Llangollen Railway Trust
