Great Central Railway Loughborough Leicestershire 1st April 2012

            Between trains during the 1960s Gala British Railways Standard 2 2-6-0 78019 was stabled in the Down sidings at Loughborough. We had time to nip down and take a few photos including this one of LMS Fowler 3F Jinty 0-6-0T arriving from Leicester with Rog in the firing seat.

We signed on at 11.45 to work the 12.55 passenger to Leicester and on returning had quite a while to wait for our next trip - although we did a bit of shunting in the meantime - which was on the TPO at 15.35 retuning non-stop from Rothley Brook with a parcels set at 16.21. With 7 engines out in total there were trains running about and passing everywhere. Another great GCR Gala.

After getting back on shed after the festivities we disposed the engine, filled the boiler to hydraulic and then Craig split the hoses between loco & tender & she was towed off to Quorn yard by the diesel Jocko. Monday morning the low-loader will be shipping her off for a 3 month stay at the South Devon Railway - the Dart Valley that was.
