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!

This sounds like something railroads in the US would do.
My grandad worked for Erie Railroad during WW2 and I can say that he's told me of similar situations during wartime.SR Project once more - Ex-SECR H Class running through Falmer with a Brighton to Turnbridge Wells West Train:
