There was plenty of variety both in terms of weather and motive power at the GWR's Autumn Diesel Gala over the weekend of October 24^th and 25^th.  Those who ventured out in the pouring rain on Saturday morning were later treated to some fine and sunny spells with dramatic cloud-scapes, while the weekend was punctuated on two or three occasions by rainbows.  On Sunday, there was again a mixture of sunshine and showers, but it was unseasonably warm which helped make the unheated carriages a little more bearable.  Here are the first shots by our resident photographer, Jack Boskett, of a weekend that many visitors are talking about as one of the best diesel events in the country. All four shots were taken on Sunday.

It has to be said that the Honeybourne Line puts on a pretty good show with an entertaining variety of traction.  This year has seen record numbers of visitors to the railway's diesel events.  If you missed them, you missed a treat.  But if you were there, then please share your comments and pictures with us!  Click here to send you pictures in to our news editor!
