    I went down to the GCR today for there 'Railways at Work' gala Saturday 19th August 2023

    There was a lot of demonstrations going on in Quorn yard, and a visit from Dr Beeching on the station did not go down well. Police had to be called

    Lots of old BR vehicles being loaded and unloaded, and some classic cars on show as well

    In steam was 6988 Swithland Hall (in reality 6990 Witherslack Hall) in unlined green livery, 48305, 78018, 73156 & 92214

    With 45305 rusting away outside at Loughborough

    This first part features the Steam locos and activities in Quorn yard and station
