Great Central Railway Quorn Leicestershire 11th December 2021

Great Central Railway Quorn Leicestershire 11th December 2021
Two shots were stitched to create this image of the footplate of Stanier 8F 2-8-0 48305 as we coasted down the hill from Quorn.

Bridge 340 and the Quorn Up Auto-Distant are visible through the cab window. If you really squint you can see the double yellow on the Down Auto-Distant. The only pressure gauge in view shows 10psi is going through the steam heating system.

A super shot. Happy New Year to you!

I don't know why but I am unable to comment on your HFF image which is beautiful and a dream location. Sorry!

A wonderful capture, it would be interesting to see another footplate of the same model and see how the pipework varied it looks very haphazard I sure a drawing wasn't used.
Best wishes for a Happy and Healthy 2022

That one looks much better organised, if a replacement pipe was needed it wasn't a case of getting the appropriate one from the stores
