2nd Deltic gala at Bluebell

Having branched out into diesel galas for the last few years, the Bluebell is to host a very special diesel gala in October.
The Deltic Preservation Society is celebrating it's 40th anniversary with a 'Deltic only' event at the Bluebell on 6-8 October 2017, featuring all three of their class 55s; Nos.D9009 'Alycidon', 55015 'Tulyar' & 55019 'Royal Highland Fusilier', PLUS the NRM's D9002 'King's Own Yorkshire Light Infantry' all in operation. Also in the planning is a 'surprise visitor' (not yet confirmed) - I suspect this may be the prototype 'Deltic' on static display, as this is to be, as mentioned earlier, a 'Deltic only' event featuring 4 operational 'Deltics'.
This will be a second 'Deltic' event at the Bluebell, following the visit of D9009 & 55019 in April 2015.

This event is in addition to the Bluebell's 'regular' diesel gala, which will be on March 31-April 2nd, with 2 visiting class 50s Nos.50035 'Ark Royal' & 50049 'Defiance'. The resident class 09 No.09018 should be in action, and they are hoping to bring in another visiting loco, possibly a class 31.
