The action is all over and we are disposing our engine on the Sunday evening after another very successful Gala. Great Western Railway Hall 4-6-0 4953 Pitchford Hall quietly simmers on Loughborough shed. My driver, the late Don Palmer, is checking round before I drop the ashpan.

Great Western Hall 4-6-0 4953 Pitchford Hall. We were the crew on the afternoon turn of a photo charter with 6 coaches between Quorn & Swithland. Here we had finished the run-pasts into the station and were loading up before moving south to Swithland in the hope of finding more sun. This gave me a chance to grab a frontal shot - otherwise most of my photos were taken from the footplate.HFF and have a great weekend.

The Quorn Up Home signal is showing an emphatic green as Great Western Railway Hall 4-6-0 4953 Pitchford Hall makes a lively run into the station. This is another shot taken during the Don Bishop photo charter yesterday. In fact in the distance the serried ranks of hi-vis'ed photographers can be seen.
