The ELR summer 2021 diesel gala had no visiting locos but the home fleet is huge so there was plenty of variety over the three days. 25279 has recently been repainted in BR Blue, seen here double heading a service out of Irwell Vale with D5054. It was really good to hear the distinctive sound of a pair of Sulzer Type 2s working a train.
