< DC IV (1997) | Gala 2000 >

Over the weekend of the 24th - 25th October 1998, the volunteers of the Welsh Highland Railway held their fifth annual gala known as Dirty Chappies V.

Here, Palmerston and Russell double-head a train out of Pen-y-Mount station. Driving Palmerston is Andy Blackwell, another of the regular faces on the footplate and in the workshops of Gelert's Farm.
