KWVR diesel gala 2007

After several weeks hard work since arriving at Haworth, 37175 was finally ready for the KWVR diesel gala on 15-17 June 2007. Many thanks to all who came along and put in the effort to make it happen and also to the good people of the railway for helping us to liberate 37175 and for making us feel so welcome during our stay there.
