Hi Guys,
I popped over to the GCR this morning as I heard there is a rare visitor on shed for an overhaul and some running when that is complete.
Here's some pics I took over there
No service trains running today so alot of stock was at Loughborough Central including this Observation coach at the bottom of the staires,
The visitor I went over to have a look at before they start taking her to bits, Fairburn class 4 tank 42085 partially under the bridge so couldn't get a great shot
70013 now fully lined out with a gentle warming fire in the firebox getting ready for tomorrows running
48305 with pistons out and some big motion parts removed
Some large sections of metal gas axed out of 48305's tender
A sorry sight for Bulleid lovers but at least some work now seems to be happening on Boscastle
Some kind soul left some steps beside 47406 so I used them to get some shots of her guts, not something you see of an inside motion loco very often
Tanks now fitted to N class 69523, who's going to be out shopped in GNR livery from the looks of things
Lastly some shots of one of my favourite locos, 78019 doing driver experience running today
