Great Central Railway O4 2-8-0 63601 gets up steam on shed at Loughborough in the early morning of the second day of the GCR's Winter Gala. I was taking a short break from prepping M7 30053 at the time.

63601 was withdrawn for overhaul later in June 2012 and currently the bottom end is in the shed at Loughborough and the boiler is on the ground in the yard both being worked on by the full-time shed staff.
