Great Central Railway’s packed-out winter steam gala!
Lineside, stations, and, yes, even the trains were packed to the brim over the weekend of January 27-29 when the UK’s only double-track main line held its winter steam gala, the first event of its 50th anniversary year, which welcomed BR 5MT No. 73082 Camelot and Urie S15 No. 506 as guests, working both passenger and freight trains.

Steam without fire
They may not have the glamour of a main line locomotive, and they are an often overlooked part of railway heritage. Nicola Fox investigates the fascinating history and heritage of the fireless locomotive, which, although there are 29 preserved, only one is currently operational.

Saving history – and then making it!
As the Great Central Railway proudly celebrates its half centenary, Robin Jones looks back at the early years and the hurdles the revivalists had to conquer to clear a way forward that led to today’s magnificent and unique double-track heritage line.
