We are pleased to announce our first two visiting locomotives for the Motor Rail Mania gala, which will be on June 27 & 28 this year.
MR 8695 and MR 10409, known respectively as Leighton Buzzard Nos. 30 and 43 come to us from their Bedfordshire home. In the case of No.43, this will be the first time it has left its home county in its 72 years of service. All being well, both locomotives will operate demonstration freight and passenger trains over the gala weekend. We are very grateful to Leighton Buzzard for allowing the engines to visit us. Subject to availability, both locomotives will take part in our Leighton Buzzard themed photo charter on the Saturday of the event. Details of how to book tickets for this are on the event page at www.avlr.org.uk or on the Facebook event page.
