Ahead of Severn Valley Railway’s Autumn Diesel Bash, Allelys transported the newly repainted 108t Class 52 D1048 ‘Western Lady’ from Midland Railway Centre to Severn Valley Railway over 60 miles (96.5km) away.
This was the largest gathering of Class 52 Westerns in over 30 years. D1048 ‘Western Lady was built and delivered to British Rail in December 1962 and withdrawn from service in 1977.
