Nearly there!! Whilst our Steam colleagues were enjoying their Gala, members of the CMDG were hard at work with the repaint of 26043. It's fair to say it'll look superb when finished....not long to wait!! 📸 Dave Stanton

The cat is out of the bag!!! 50021 was our first 'mainline' diesel and will be heading us for our Gala in July...30 years after it left for pastures new. So glad this got over the line!!!
