The Deltic Preservation Society's loco joins previously the announced visiting engines - class 33/0 D6501 from South Devon Diesel Traction/South Devon Railway & class 20 D8188 from the Somerset & Dorset Locomotive Company/Severn Valley Railway - plus the resident fleet of class 31 31289 'Phoenix' (on longer term loan from Northampton & Lamport Railway), class 73 73140, class 33/0 33063 'R.J.Mitchell', class 10 D3489 'Colonel Tomline', class 09 No.09026 'Cedric Wares', Drewry 0-4-0DM 2591 'Southerham' & the class 207 DeMU 1317.
