Great Central Railway Loughborough Leicestershire 22nd May 2016

Great Central Railway Loughborough Leicestershire 22nd May 2016
Two freight trains pass on the southern approach to Loughborough station. We are on British Railways Standard 9F 2-10-0 92214 with a Down freight heading for the Loop. Meanwhile in the Up Through Loop Stanier Black 5 4-6-0 45305 waits with a minerals train.

Both trains fit the Railways at Work theme very authentically & give a fair impression of the later BR era on the GC main line.

Another wonderful image and very hard to put a date on it. The industrial atmosphere is really enhanced by the rake of ordinary, everyday mineral wagons. Is the Black 5 maybe just a bit too clean? The exhaust rising past the trees makes them look a bit like chimneys, adding to the atmosphere even more.

Thanks very much. The GCR is all about "Recreating the Experience". True the 5 is a bit shiny and the 16 tonners a bit clean but not a bad recreation.
