Britain's What's On Event Guide
NYMR Diesel Gala
Prepare for an extraordinary journey through time as we proudly announce the triumphant return of the Diesel Gala at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway!
Join us for this three-day event, where enthusiasts and families alike can revel in the captivating world of heritage diesel locomotives amidst the stunning landscapes of the North York Moors National Park.
This year, we're thrilled to not only have the NYMR home fleet of diesel locomotives but also five exciting visiting locomotives for you to ride behind – the first of which is No. 37418 ‘An Comunn Gaidhealach’ which is replacing the previously announced Deltic No. 55009 ‘Alycidon’ due to a power unit failure. Named ‘An Comunn Gaidhealach’, meaning ‘The Highland Association’ in English, No. 37418 is a distinctive member of the British Rail Class 37 fleet. Built in the 1960s by English Electric, this locomotive has a Co-Co wheel arrangement and boasts a 1,750-horsepower engine.
The four other visiting locomotives are No. 45108 courtesy of the East Lancashire Railway, D9537 courtesy of the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, and BR Class 20s, No. 20189 and No. 20142 - both courtesy of Class 20189 Ltd.
So mark your calendars for a nostalgic experience where the echoes of a bygone era meet the excitement of today's generation. Don't miss the opportunity to create lasting memories with loved ones, surrounded by the charm and allure of our beloved heritage diesel locomotives.
