Diesel Gala & Beer Festival 2024: I had not seen "Rodney" since the end of Class 50 operations back in the early '90s, so this was a good reunion for me. At 10.06 the "Hoover" arrives at Harmans Cross with the 09.48 Norden to Swanage train. I was glad that I visited on this Friday as later in the day the Fifty would fail and not operate again at the Gala!
