    Thanks to Martin Creese for organising a charter at the Midland Railway Centre just before the boiler certificate runs out. With insufficient cash in the kitty for an overhaul it may be a long wait to see it again. As usual the weather was pretty grim but here's a few shots I've managed to extract something from so far.

    Would MRC be open to considering a restore and run agreement with another railway or group perhaps?

    This has to be one loco that deserves to be on the main line. It's wasted at Butterley.
