| 10/08/08 - Family commitments meant a weekend in Leicester and spoiled my plans to chase IT57 around the northern rails.
Being let out to play for a Sunday morning I headed for the Great Central Railway to see what was happening. A run down the line and back from Rothley and a look at Kinchley lane was all I had time for before heading back to Leicester. Engines in steam - 63601 & 850 "Lord Nelson" + DMU unit & Class 25 diesel D5185 Quiet day I thought but enjoyable day out - as per usual ! |
