A visit to LNWR Heritage
Ltd to see "The Great Marquess" leaving
for The
Churnet Valley Railway after overhaul at Crewe. 05/01/2007
The industrial scene
at Crewe - it does your heart good to see it. Note 60009 "Union
of South Africa" receiving attention. 05/01/2007
A closer shot of 60009.

loaded on the trailer
and almost ready to go. 05/01/2007
Site Manager Stephen
Latham makes a few last minute checks. 05/01/2007
It looked quite small
on the back of the trailer and, as an LNER machine, a long way
from home. The engine's size belies its power, I have seen one
shot of it going over the S&C line with 12 on plus an "ETHEL"
- not bad for a little 'un. 05/01/2007
The tender was winched
onto a second trailer. 05/01/2007
Leaving the site en route
for North Staffordshire for running-in. 05/01/2007
Traffic was stopped while
"wrong line working" was implemented. 05/01/2007
Leaving Crewe. 05/01/2007

Also being given the
treatment was another 2-6-0, number 78019. 05/01/2007
Although not in steam
there was a driver present on the footplate! 05/01/2007
Ah! must be a trainee
getting familiar with the controls. 05/01/2007
87035 continues to undergo
restoration - to Electric Blue I understand. 05/01/2007
