Great Central Railway Loughborough Leicestershire 28th December 2016
On the footplate of ex-LMS Stanier Black 5 4-6-0 45305 in Loughborough station &amp; Al is building up the fire in preparation for departure with the 15.15 service to Leicester. He very kindly let me drive this trip while he did what he had done many times before when he was a young fireman at Saltley shed in the late 1950s/early 1960s.
