The Engine Shed at the GCR
There are many steam and diesel locomotives based and running on the dual-track line at the Great Central Railway. With some are in the process of being restored, some are out of service under-going expert and loving repair and maintained and some are in full service providing a heritage travel experience.
Please note, that due to the age and nature of these vintage locomotives, the running order changes frequently in-order to maintain a service.
