Great Central North Diesel Gala, 101009,

 

Imagine the scene………

Perfect weather , a classic motive power line up, an inaugural preserved working (47765), welcoming sociable staff, no steam, no neds, few froth and fewer normals, ample photographic potential, and loads of thrash…I think you have it, add a decent bus service to Ruddington every 10 minutes from outside Nottingham station and you have a very rateable day out…. …

 

Part One of two GCR North phot features…..

Perfect light?, 20154 and 20007 at East Leake during an engine change

Perfection, an immaculate coal sector 56097 arrives at East Leake, 47292 is tailing

After a good thrash up from Loughboro on her inaugural preserved run, 47765 awaits a booked pilot engine forward, ta to "PB".

37248 and former Bletchley-Bedford legend 31452 at East Leake as the day draws to and end
