HFF Great Central Railway Swithland Leicestershire 18th May 2022

I was rostered on British Railways Standard 9F 2-10-0 92214 with Craig on a 9-coach Toyota charter. Signing on at 17.00 it was a fairly easy turn with 3 half hour stops in various places, the first one being on the reservoir at Swithland when it was still daylight. As the only train on the line the opportunity was taken to grab a few shots of the loco while we waited.

It's a tiny fence I know... HFF & have a great weekend.

Another great engine to your vast collection Peter. A beautiful capture, needless to say. I expect to see you on one of the many steam and train documentaries we watch one day :) Well done.

HFF, have a great weekend. Herb

A beautiful steam engine and super shot Loose Grip.
I looked her up and found she came to GCR as 'Cock o' the North', going on to be known as 'Central Star' before being named City of Leicester. I have to admit I prefer the original name as it adds character. For all that she is a powerful looking beauty

HFF and have a good weekend
