11th October 2003 (Autumn Gala)

Our first visit to the GCR since August 2000, and our first GC gala experience. We had a most enjoyable day. The highlight of which (for me) was being at Quorn & Woodhouse when the Black Five (45305) came roaring through with the 10.20 TPO
(picking up mail bags on the move) ....... WOW!............
Locomotives in action were:-
LMS Black Five 45305,
GWR 2-6-2T 4141,
BR Type 4 'Peak' D123 "Leicestershire & Derbyshire Yeomanry",
GWR 4-6-0 7821 "Ditcheat Manor"
LNER 04 2-8-0
D8098 EE Type 1.
We really must make the effort to visit the GC more often.
