Swanage summer gala set is to be a strictly Bulleid affair

SEVEN years after its showstopping Bulleid-centric event to mark 50 years since the last days of steam on the Southern Region, Strictly Bulleid 2 is set to bring together several examples of the West Country and Battle of Britain classes to run across the full 9 ½ miles from the seaside resort right up to its Network Rail boundary at the River Frome.

The March/April event of 2017 saw five of these powerhouses descend on Dorset with SLL’s resident fleet of Nos. 34053 and 34070 joined by, the East Lancashire’s 34092 , and the Royal Scot Locomotive & GeneralTrust’s No. 34046 for the occasion.
