"Steam Railway" Gala, Great Central Railway
10th October 2008 to 11th October 2008

The "Big Name" Engine Show - a 3 day Gala at the Great Central Railway, commencing on the Friday with a restricted service featuring three locos - "Tornado", "Oliver Cromwell" and "Leander". Big crowds in attendance in mainly glorious sunshine and I spent part of the day in the excellent company of fellow fotter Roger Gurney. On Saturday "Lord Nelson" joined this trio and I was one of many who enjoyed the morning sunshine
