There is a article in Trackside magazine that the Wabtec site at Doncaster is having a open day in June with 60007 SNG Star guest, tickets through Eventbrite from 11th May, cant find any other info though

Rail Advent saying 60103 will also be in attendance, along with various diesel locos. Two sessions, 10am - 2pm and 2pm - 6pm. They're getting worse with their cut and pasting of press releases - they've failed to mention the date!

 

20th June, Tickets are FREE, available online from Monday 11th May.

Good day today. Nice relaxed atmosphere, no issues with people getting in the way while you're trying to take photos, very little queuing for footplate visits and a ride beyond 08724 on Caroline. Interesting to see the work going on inside the various shops as well. Very well organised considering they only started discussing it in March! And I'm glad they kept the numbers down, even though they could easily have given away more.

60007 looked superb sat outside the erecting shop, and the couple of dozen support crew and volunteers who were there did a great job, very engaging, lots of stuff being sold on the sales stand. In contrast, 60103 looked a bit forlorn, on its own, no one around, not in steam, no visits to the footplate. The Friends of the NRM had a small sales stand but well away from the loco, tucked back opposite the class 58.
