GCR 60's Gala

22nd March 2009

The little green 101 was the first shot of the day, seen shortly after departing Leicster North. Buy Print	63601 completes the tranquil scene at Rothley. Buy Print	A different angle at Kinchley Lane, with 78019 squeezing into frame. Buy Print	Tender first and coasting, 48305 heads towards Swithland Yard after crossing one of the bridges in the area.

Kinchley Lane, from another viewpoint, elegantly exemplified by D123. Buy Print	Complete with random wagon, D5401 heads towards Rothley. Buy Print	The Q6 had her last running day at the GCR on the Sunday, and here she is powering one of many workings it carried out effortlesly that day. Buy Print	The DMU, always provides a 'clag shots for dummies' example. Buy Print
The view outside of Loughborough is very much a 1960's one with D123 departing alongside 78019 awaiting her path. Buy Print	D5401 heads out of Loughborough shortly before the sunlight dissapears for good. Buy Print	48305 approaches with the ridiculous winds evident on the approach to Loughborough. That bridge is unique in being able to provide a gale on a calm day. Buy Print	D5830 makes an apperance heading towards Quorn. Buy Print

Shots of most of the traction running at the Great Central that day including the 101, D123, D5401 & D5830. I've tried a few different locations this time because I was convinced there were other places on that line you could get to without a hi-vis!
