    Fifty wagons and a 9F is certainly a sight to behold! A video of the Great Central Railway's 50th Anniversary Celebrations today for those who missed it

    Great weekend, huge thanks to everyone invovled in the event and congratulations on the 50 years! The 50 wagons freight train was a great spectacle and I can't remember ever seeing so many people at Quorn at any one point before as it came through! Weather verged from full sun and roasting heat to a two hour downpour at Quorn on the Saturday! Video below, photos to follow...
