Great Central Railway Quorn Leicestershire 5th July 2023

We were clearing the lineside at Quorn when BR Standard 9F 2-10-0 92214 passed on the 10.00 service.

The family footplate team of Les & Pete were in charge of the 9F in the morning and gave us a wave. On the afternoon shift I had the pleasure to fire 92214 on the 14.00 train.

Not the best resolution because it's a screen grab from my video.

They are having a smashing time in that rather fetching loco, Pete!

Compare that to the situation on the "Double Fairlie" on the Festiniog [Nth Wales, 2ft narrow-gauge] where - historically - both injectors were on the driver's side and the boiler comes between the footplate crew.

No-one gets off the footplate without a smile on their face Diana - me included!
