The GCR in 1975 - 1

            A scene from my first visit to the Great Central Railway on (I think) Sunday 2 November 1975. At this date the railway was only operating between Loughborough Central and Quorn and Woodhouse, and my photo shows "Littleton No 5" running round its train at Quorn after arrival from Loughborough.

This 0-6-0ST was built by Mainning Wardle in 1922 (works number 2018) and worked at Littleton Colliery, near Cannock, from 1922-1972. On its retirement it was bought for preservation and taken first to the Foxfield Railway, and then to the GCR. It worked regularly on the GCR until 1980, when it moved to the Avon Valley Railway, near Bristol. It worked on the Avon Valley Railway until 1994, and it has been stored on that railway since then awaiting a return to steam.
