2017 is the 40th Anniversary of the foundation of the Deltic Preservation Society and the Bluebell Railway is delighted to host the very special Anniversary Gala over the weekend Friday October 6th to Sunday October 8th.
This is a Deltic only event and will now feature only three working Deltics;

55022 -- 'Royal Scots Grey' was down to attend but didn't make it sadly.
There will be an intensive timetable throughout the weekend with a 12 car set due to run on the last train of the day on both Friday and Saturday evenings.
