Great Central Railway Loughborough Leicestershire 23rd January 2022

            Back on shed at 17.00 with Stanier 8F 2-8-0 48305 & it was getting dark. I had prepped the loco and run two trips in the morning when the relief fireman asked if I could take his afternoon turn too. Being young and foolish I agreed!

I fired the first trip but let Andrew the trainee take the last one (I wasn't knackered, honest!) He did very well & here he is coming down from the cab after offering to dispose. After almost 12 hours in action I was happy to leave him and Pete to it... That's my bag, shovel & mash can on the ground ready for a quick getaway.
