Each year, during May, the RH&DR hold their eagerly awaited and well attended Steam and Diesel Galas. 2003 saw the event grow from the usual one-day event into a weekend extravaganza of mainline steam operation in miniature.

Special workings, double-headers, triple-headers, freight workings, shuttles, visiting engines, intensive timetables and, of course, the famous Gala Special train.

Here you will find links to picture galleries from some past Galas.
