< 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.

The working timetable for the event involved a continual exchange of stock at each end of the railway. This can be seen clearly here: Palmerston arrives in the platform road at Pen-y-Mount station, whilst the two Andrew Barclay locos wait to depart for Porthmadog with the box van set.
