Diesel Events 1999 - The event of the year in the diesel enthusiast’s calendar was without doubt the impressive E.W.S. event held in September 1999. All the locomotives (and coaching stock), which ran in this event, are featured on this video. This event was preceded by the 3 day E.L.R. diesel event in July that featured all the resident diesels, and a few welcome visitors which included the G.W.R liveried class 50 ‘Sir Edward Elgar’. Our cameras also captured a rare view of the ‘Wickham’ diesel rail bus in action.
