by Loose_Grip/Pete
It's the second day of the GCR Autumn Gala and I'm rostered on Standard 2 78019. We are prepping the engine on road 3 and looking back toward the shed this is the fine sight that met us at 06.06.

Visiting Manor 4-6-0 7828 Odney Manor and resident BR Standard 5 4-6-0 73156 are already brewing up. Other locos in steam on this day are 8F 48305, Std 2 78018 & Modified Hall 6990 Witherslack Hall.
