Down to nowhere
30541 & 777
Approaching Kinchley Lane bridge, Q class 0-6-0 leads N15 777 "Sir Lamiel" with the 15:20 from Loughborough Central to Leicester North. Both locos are the last survivors of their type. The Q class was the penultimate design of 0-6-0 to be built for a main line company. They were also Richard Maunsell's final design for the Southern Railway. They were a competent, unspectacular design, and somewhat eclipsed by Bulleid's 0-6-0 Q1 class. 30541 was visiting the Great Central Railway for a short visit. It normally lives on the Bluebell Railway.
