GCR 'Parade of the 2-8-0s!' 3rd-4th October 2009

Over the weekend of 3rd-4th Oct 2009, the GCR held a mini taster gala of what was to come the following week at the Steam Railway Gala. Having a line up of three 2-8-0s meant that this was a one off combination of locos.

The star of the show was WD Austerity No.90733 visiting from the Keighley & Worth Valley Railway which has never been away from its home before and this ran along side resident locos ex.GCR Robinson 04 No.63601 and ex.LMS 8F no.48305.

In the video we see the 4:45pm servide double headed by No.90733 and 63601 and 48305 shunting stock about in readiness for the photo shoot. All the footage seen was taken on the Sunday at Loughboough Central

Great! I can't wait 'till Saturday, I'm gonna see a 9F, a WD and I'm gonna meet Pete Waterman and probably David Shepherd!!! I'm looking forward to meeting Pete the most! :D

[RailwayFanatic92220]

Neither can I! I've got a footplate ride in Comwell, possibly on a TPO! I completely forgot about Pete Waterman! I think I'm going to go and see if I can get his autograph now!

[RailwayFanatic92220]

Oh no! I tkae it like me the 9F's your favourite engine! It's staying for a while afterwards so you should be able to get some footage of it!
