There will also be 4 locos in steam at the 20th Birthday Bash (26-28 August) with a very appropriate visitor to the Tunbridge Wells-Eridge line: BR Standard 4MT tank No.80078 will be making it's 2nd visit to the Spa Valley (previously visiting in September 2004), joining 'Ring Haw', 'Ugly' & No.72. A number of diesels will be in action too, including the visiting 'Deltic' No.55019 'Royal Highland Fusilier' & residents Nos.33063 & 73140.
