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…..
