The 9J 0-6-0 in the Up loop at Loughborough for a stop, inspection and to take water if needed.

Many thanks, I'll have a look.
I do have trs2022, I'm able to see GCR V16, and a GCR Version 2 with a higher kuid number. Which should I go for?
I've found GCR22 V5 which looks like the most recent version

Leicester Central and the GCR 9J "pom-pom" 0-6-0 is in the Up loop awaiting engine change before the train will move on to Woodford.
A Robinson 11F "Improved director" 4-4-0 stands in the Up platform, also awaiting an engine change.
According to "The Great Central From the Footplate" (1987) by Robert Robotham & Frank Stratford the express passenger trains could expect the change to be done in four minutes. Frank Stratford, a driver on the former GCR London extension who came up from cleaner at Leicester shed had a snippet to share. When the BR MR took over the shed they discovered that under-18s at Leicester shed were working nightshifts, which was illegal. There had been a waiver granted during WWII but when hostilities ceased and the waiver lapsed the LNER shed at Leicester just ignored it!
