Description
Marking 70 years since the last BR Standard Class 2MT was built, in 1956 at Darlington, and 60 years on from its eventual scrapping, the Nene Valley Railway would transform visiting Standard 2MT 78019 from the Great Central Railway to 'last of the class' 78064, as part of a photo charter along the line, organised by the railway's Wagon Group.

The day saw several run pasts at key locations along the line, with recreations of permanent way workings added for some human element to the scenes. Rounding off the day as the early winter evening drew in was a selection of cameo scenes in the yard at Overton station, featuring several British Railways road vehicles and reenactors in period dress.
