Great Central Railway Loughborough Leicestershire 27th December 2018

Detail of the motion on BR Standard pacific 70013 Oliver Cromwell at Loughborough.

Cromwell was only 4 days from withdrawal for its 10 year overhaul but ran beautifully. Although kept spruced up for its last few days it has acquired an authentic "lived-in" appearance.

The overhaul is still continuing but it is hoped to have Cromwell back in steam during 2023.
