Great Central Railway Loughborough Leicestershire 11th March 2022

            A reminder from 2 years ago of what might still be the future for steam. The GCR was trialling Trevithick Welsh Steaming Ovoids as a coal replacement and we were the guinea pigs being the first crew to use them. 

I was firing Ivatt 2MT 2-6-0 46521 and all went well on the first trip with a huge fire but when I tried to be more subtle on the second trip I became a cropper and needed to stop for a blow-up at Rothley... I was not the only one!!
