Description
It's autumn 1989 and i'm at the Great Central Railway for Railway Vehicle Preservation Society's 21st Anniversary. On the Saturday evening a special dining train was operated using the groups Roberts Stephenson & Hawthorn steam loco 7597. Built in 1949 the loco spent its life working at Rye House Power Station until purchase by RVP (see link below to the RVP website). We see 7597 at Loughborough Central on the Saturday evening and then on the Sunday we see Great Western Railway 6106 2-6-2 Tank engine at Quorn & Woodhouse.
