The second is No. 401 “Vulcan” – a robust saddle tank locomotive that saw service at some of Britain’s largest industrial plants, including the giant Port Talbot steelworks and the Longbridge car factory.

Three of the railway's resident locomotives will also be in action and there will be entertainment too. 

Graham Hukins, the commercial manager, said: "We're looking forward to having two such different visiting engines to the gala and the pair will help us demonstrate a wide variety of trains."

Tickets cost from £25 to £60 and are available online.
