A 'rarely seen' locomotive is set to make a special appearance at the Severn Valley Railway.
The heritage railway has announced that Class 25 no. D7628 will appear at its Autumn Diesel Bash subject to availability.
The event will take place from Thursday, October 3 to Sunday, October 6 with the locomotive set to appear alongside SVR home locomotives and Class 25 no. 25262.
Class 25 no. D7628 is owned by the North Yorkshire Moors Railway (NYMR) and can be found working the Esk Valley trains to Whitby.
Jonathan 'Gus' Dunster, managing director at the SVR, said: "We’re extremely grateful to the North Yorkshire Moors Railway for agreeing to D7628’s appearance.
"Securing this locomotive is quite a 'coup' as it is very rarely seen away from the NYMR and we are very pleased to be hosting it."
The popular four-day heritage diesel celebration operates a busy timetable and attracts visitors from all over the country.
Single and multi-day rover tickets are on sale now via the website at www.svr.co.uk
