Great Central Railway Loughborough Leicestershire 28th February 2016

British Railways Standard Pacific 70013 Oliver Cromwell, fresh from its time at Butterley and with new tyres and repaired wheels, is being worked on.

I was Spare crew today and since both the morning firemen had turned up for duty I spent the morning deep in the bowels of 70013 working with James to refit the front sanding equipment, left & right. It took longer than planned as neither of us had been involved in removing them so working out how they actually fitted was a challenge! We got there in the end.
