7820 Dinmore Manor is off on tour – a request for help came in to the GWSR from the East Lancs Railway to see if a replacement for the failed Union of South Africa could be provided.

We agreed that we would help out – and visit the North West for the first time.

The loco will be on duty through the Gala on Friday 16th October through to Sunday 18th – then again on the following weekend (23rd and 24th)

We will be back on home soil for the GWSR Gala
