But if this is the case, then the BR 'mogul' will be on the list of locos for the June gala.

Here's the confirmation:
https://www.railadvent.co.uk/2024/04...-for-2024.html
No.76017 has been confirmed as being on hire to the K&ESR (from John Bunch) for the remainder of 2024, which will include an appearance at the line's 50th anniversary gala (1/2 June).
Also visiting the gala will be SE&CR O1 class 0-6-0 No.65 from the Bluebell Railway. This will be the second visit to the K&ESR in preservation, having previously visited in May 2009, but the former BR No.31065 was a frequent sight on the Headcorn-Robertsbridge line in BR days.
