Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway 'Railway Rally' - 25th - 28th June 2021 - Lineup changes

[alexl92]

The Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway (AKA TheYorkshire Dales Railway) have announced an additional two visiting locomotives for the Railway Rally gala taking place over this weekend.

Planned guest Caledonian Railway No.419 will now no longer be able to attend so the railway have managed to secure two new visitors instead:

• Cockerill Type IV Lucie, owned by Paul 'Piglet' Middleton of the NYMR (formerly on the Middleton Railway)
• Stroudley 'Terrier' 2678 Knowle, owned by the Kent & East Sussex Railway but currently on loan at the Isle of Wight Steam Railway, from where it is being shipped directly to Yorkshire for the weekend.

These join Hawthorn Leslie 0-4-0ST Keighley Gasworks No. 2, visiting for the month of June from the Tanfield Railway, and E&BASR resident Hunslet 16" Beatrice.

It's a cracking lineup in my opinion - absolutely gutted I'm busy all weekend or I'd be there no question. Knowle looks amazing in SR Black.

Sounds awesome, hope some pictures will be taken and shared by those who can make it.

I visited Saturday (at great expense, thanks LNER!) and Monday; pictures are from both days. Superb event; many thanks to all the staff and volunteers for making it a very special day(s) out indeed. Highlight of my SG visits this year so far. [Amberley Steam Gala being my NG highlight this year...]

Cheers for the link. That Steam tram from Brussels looks interesting.

If you're not familiar, it's owned by Paul 'Piglet' Middleton, Traction Manager (I think that's his title) on the NYMR, and it is based there. Was resident on the Middleton Railway for many years, in a paler green livery. I think somewhere down south - maybe the Mid-Suffolk Light Rly - have a similar one.
