    Good guest engines so far. Haven't seen the B12 in action.

    May have to try and get down for this.

    That'll make it 20 years since the B12 last appeared at the GCR Winter Gala..........in 1998 !

    Seen approaching Rothley - before the double track was put into operation - on 7th February 1998.

    Nice photo. To me it is spoiled by the reflections on the tender. It shows you why I dislike shiny locos. Unless you lived in Crewe, Doncaster etc. you very rarely saw shiny locos. BR grime is the best livery. :D

    I take your point but we're not living in the 1960's anymore! The B12 has a wonderful finish even after 5 years in traffic to let that go mucky would be criminal in my opinion!

    Locomotives in the 1960s were also poorly maintained and withdrawn and cut up the minute anything went wrong.

    Superb news about the B12 and the crab coming to the gala. I always wanted these locos to visit the GCR for a long time
