A shot at Kinchley Lane during the GCR Winter Gala. This is Southern Urie S15 4-6-0 506 on the 13.30 mixed freight train from Loughborough to Swithland.

Pete, this is something comparable on the railway of my first 50 years.

Thanks Annemarie. The railway's motto is "Recreating the Experience". Vintage is good!

A great image it makes you want to see the rest of the wagons, a very posh looking freight train not like the ones I used to watch going through Central station ( a very long time ago )

Thanks very much Peter. I'll post another showing the full train. It's true the wagons are all in ex-works condition a state that you very rarely saw back in the day (mine as well!). I never made it to Central in steam days but I did watch long freights - mainly coal trucks - on the GCR line between Doncaster & Scunthorpe.

I was an apprentice at Stibbe's being across the road from the station you had a great view of the railway from the upper floors including the turntable, wouldn't you have liked that
