Sir Nigel Gresley, the legendary locomotive, is set to grace the 50th Anniversary Gala in Somerset, marking a special occasion for rail enthusiasts. The West Somerset Railway has announced an exciting addition to their WSR 50 Spring Steam Spectacular, which will take place from May 1st to 4th. This highly anticipated event will showcase a diverse range of locomotives, with Sir Nigel Gresley as the star attraction.
