WD 2-8-0 stars at GCR gala

摘要

The Great Central Railway's October 9-11 steam gala -dubbed 'the heavy metal show' by GCR president Bill Ford -drew 4,000 visitors and gross takings in excess of £71,000. While not beating last year's record event, which featured Tornado's debut on passenger trains, it was well ahead of 2007 figures.
