Two Class 20 locomotives are set to visit the North Yorkshire Moors Railway for its upcoming Diesel Gala.

Taking place between the 14th and 16th June 2024, the gala will see Class 20s No. 20189 and 20142 visit thanks to Class 20189 Ltd.

The 20s will join 55009 ‘Alycidon’, 45108 and D9537 to operate an intensive timetable.

Complementing the visiting locos will be the home fleet of 37264, D7628 ‘Sybilla’, 31128 ‘Charybdis’, 47077 ‘North Star’ and 31466.

Day tickets will cost £49.50 but are free if you have a valid Annual Pass.

“We were already excited about the return of the Diesel Gala, so having these extra guest locomotives alongside our home fleet is going to make the weekend really special. Thanks to Michael Owen from Class 20189 Ltd, we’re really pleased to welcome back Class 20s, No. 20142 and No. 20189, yet more diesel traction for our returning Diesel Gala. We’re bringing the event back with a bang!”
