The Welsh Highland Railway will be commemorating this anniversary with a "Garratt 50" event over the weekend of September 6-7
Both the first and last built Garratts from the Gorton works, together with a planned exhibit of 50+ other Garratts of all sizes will be on display, many in steam.
There will also be a large display of Garratt artifacts including some from the East African Railway.
