The 2004 North Yorkshire Moors Diesel Gala
Friday, 23rd April, 2004


Between Friday 23rd and Sunday 25th of April the North Yorkshire Moors Railway between Pickering and Grosmont hosted a gala event running only diesel traction.  Due to problems obtaining air braked coaching stock only heritage traction was running during the event.
Whilst this made the event slightly less colourful than the previous years event it was no less enjoyable.

Locos running were 08556, D4018, D5061, D7628, 37197, 37261, 44004, 45133, 50007 and 50033
