1988 built QJ 7204 shuffles down the yard at Xinan Colliery towards the loading bunkers. By January 2006 this locomotive was relegated to standby and shunting as the line service had already been taken over by diesels. This big beast was one of the last of this class of locomotive built but had little time left and as far as I know this was the last time it was recorded in steam. It was seen dumped a few months later.

The GCR tried a new event this weekend running trains continuously overnight Saturday to Sunday. I was rostered to sign on at 04.00am on BR Standard 5 4-6-0 73156. We headed the 05.00 Loughborough to Leicester North service . On our return we went on shed where I serviced the loco cleaning the fire & emptying the ashpan. After rebuilding the fire we still had 2 hours before our next train at 09.30. This gave me time for breakfast on the shovel. The bacon had already been cooked & consumed and was followed by sausages. All very tasty & fried in a jiffy.
