2023 on paper would look rather interesting for preservation owing to the abundance of anniversaries coming up. Centenary of the Big 4s creation, 75years since the Birth of BR and the loco exchange trials, 60 years of the beginning of the Beeching cuts, and 55 years since the 15 guinea special in 1968 - however apart from the Scotsman centenary, there doesn't seem to be much declared for any events or exhibitions that could be put on.
For this thread pretty much anything relevant to the extents of a heritage railway pulling off a huge gala or railtour giving a nod to any of the events - to even something on the NR network from a station getting repainted into big 4 colours - would be of interest.
