Notwithstanding the fact that the station has associations with WWII, it was a bit of a surprise to find suspended from the ceiling of the Butler-Henderson Café at Quorn & Woodhouse station, Great Central Railway, a model of Spitfire Mk. IX PV270. The real aircraft survives and, as far as I can tell, is in New Zealand. There are some superb photographs of that aircraft (as ZK-SPI) elsewhere on Flickr and I commend to you the work of the photographers responsible. 200_4_P1030564E

One of the key attractions at Quorn & Woodhouse was the beautifully restored Travelling Post Office (TPO) set. Perhaps unkindly, I have omitted most of the as yet unrestored Brake Open to focus on the other four vehicles which are (from camera) W80349, W80458, W80401 and W80438. 200_P1040703

BR Class 2 2-6-0 78019 at Quorn & Woodhouse. The locomotive was posed with its short train for an organised photoshoot and about 30 people were in front of it. I smiled a little to myself as I got the reverse of the countless near-identical pictures which were being taken at the same time. The purists are going to jump all over me for converting to b&w but this is a technique I like to use with discretion and, in this case, I think there are no elements to make this image less than timeless. 200_P1040693CM
