Back in 2008 Britannia class 4-6-2 locomotive number 70013 'Oliver Cromwell' was, for a short period of time, turned out as a long scrapped member of the class as 70048 ' The Territorial Army 1908-1958'.
This video records a photo charter of the renumbered locomotive in October 2008 hauling both passenger and freight stock. Scenes were taken along the line between Loughborough and Rothley.
Many thanks to Russ Hillier (R.U.S.S. Charters) and the railway staff for organising this event.
