The annual GCR Autumn Diesel Gala is back!

Gear up for an action-packed weekend at our annual Autumn Diesel Gala! Our home fleet will be joined by visiting guest locomotives, offering the chance to ride behind an impressive range of traction.

This event is a highlight in any diesel enthusiast’s calendar and a great day out for families, as we start off the new season with a weekend of diesel traction.

We’re delighted to announce the first guest for this event will be Class 33, 33103 curtesy of Nemesis Rail and the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway. We’re already excited to pair 33103 with classmate D6535 (33116).
