Nathan Rodgers and David Cook have supplied numerous photos of diesel locomotives visiting the Swanage Railway's annual Diesel Gala and Beer Festival 8-10th May. The photos are mainly taken on the Saturday and Sunday, days 2 & 3, with a separate item on the Friday first day's services here.

Dave Cook says: "The beer was very popular (unsurprisingly) and it was a real problem for many visitors whether to ride, drink, or take photographs. It was a brilliant event, and I really cannot put my appreciation for the organisers into words. Some of the comments on the preserved diesel website say it all".
