BR 2-8-0 Class O4/1 number 63601 in action on a photo charter hauling a rake of 'Windcutter' wagons at the Great Central Railway (GCR), UK on 30th September 2004.
The locomotive was built in 1912 as GCR No.102.
63601 was withdrawn from service at the GCR in June 2012 and is currently under restoration. It is hoped it will steam again in 2027 subject to sufficient funds being raised.
Many thanks to John Brooks for organising this photo charter.
