Great Central Railway Loughborough Leicestershire 13th August 2023

Great Central Railway Loughborough Leicestershire 13th August 2023
Rods down, British Railways Standard 9F 2-10-0 92214 heads off shed to work the 10.00 to Leicester North. Fireman Andrew looks ahead while the Third Man/Cleaner checks out the view across to the water tank.

Taken from the yard gate as I arrived for a shed turn.

To get the full impression of its power I suggest viewing large!

I imagine that this type would keep the fireman very busy when working to its limits. How is its efficiency in heritage use?

Yes it would Graham but it potters along at 25mph with 5-6 coaches in heritage use so not really stretched.

OK, thanks Pete. I guess that speed is to give the best steam experience on the available track length.

Hi Pete
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
Can you imagine firing one of these over Shap with a full load of freight wagons...
Not really a job for us old men!!
Best Wishes, and stay safe!!
