October 2003 (Autumn Gala) Our first visit to the GCR since August 2000, and our first GC gala experience. We had a most enjoyable day. The highlight of which (for me) was being at Quorn & Woodhouse when the Black Five (45305) came roaring through with the 10.20 TPO (picking up mail bags on the move) ....... WOW!............ Locomotives in action were:- LMS Black Five 45305, GWR 2-6-2T 4141, BR Type 4 'Peak' D123 "Leicestershire & Derbyshire Yeomanry", GWR 4-6-0 7821 "Ditcheat Manor" LNER 04 2-8-0 D8098 EE Type 1. We really must make the effort to visit the GC more often. Visit The Great Central Railway website - www.gcrailway.co.uk |
