Ten different diesel and steam locomotives worked alongside each other, including visiting GWR Prairie 5526, Class 25 D7612, Tamper and Ballast Regulator. Visiting locomotives joined resident heritage diesels and the magnificent steam locomotive Bullied Pacific 34072 ‘257 Squadron'.

During March, Plasser and Theurer 07-16 Tamping Machine No. DR73434 / Works No. 1581 and Plasser and Theurer USP5000C Ballast Regulating Machine No. DR77329/Works No. 392 were visiting the Spa Valley Railway to work on their infrastructure. The owning group has agreed to provide a crew to enable the Tamper and Ballast Regulator to be able to haul a public train using the popular Queen Mary Brake Van!
