The Great Central Railways Easter Tank Engine Gala & Walking Festival held over the Easter Weekend of 11th-13th April 2009. Engines running were ex.GWR Large Prairie No.4141 (which was its last running weekend before withdrawl for its mandatory 10 Year overhaul), Ivatt Class 2 Tank No.41241 a last minute visitor from the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway due to the absence of 42085 & 4744 and another visitor but his time from the Noth Norfolk Railway ex.NER N7 Tank No.69621.

Locmotives on shed were NER N2 No.4744 (nearing completion of its overhaul), ex.LMS Fairburn Tank No.42085 and BR Standard 2 No.78019.

PLEASE NOTE! In the video for some reason I have stated that No.41241 is a BR Standard 2 Tank. It is not it is an Ivatt Class 2 Tank also known as a 'Mickey Mouse'

[RailwayFanatic92220]

Yes, I know. there are a lot of mistakes in this video. This is why I don't often do annotations!

[edwardianeccentric]
