No. 6990 "Witherslack Hall"GWR 6959 Class 4-6-0Swindon WorksBR Lined Green, Early EmblemBuilt in 1948. 6990 was selected as a post-nationalisation locomotive to participate in the Locomotive Exchanges of 1948 on the former Great Central Main Line. Following the trials, she was based at Old Oak Common TMD (81A) until 1966 and was then sold to Woodham Brothers Ltd. She was purchased for preservation and returned to the Great Central in 1975. The locomotive returned to service following her second 10-year overhaul in preservation in October 2015. During her last overhaul, Witherslack Halls Collett tender was exchanged with 4930 Hagley Halls former Hawksworth tender. Boiler ticket expires in 2025.David Clarke Railway Trust.
No. 45305 "Alderman A.E.Draper"LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0Armstrong WhitworthBR Lined Black, Late CrestBuilt in 1937. 5305 was allocated to several depots before becoming based at Lostock Hall (10D) by 1968, one of only three steam sheds left at the end of BR steam. Withdrawn at the very end on 4 August 1968, she was sold to Draper's Scrapyard, before being saved for restoration. In preservation, she has continued the Five's 'Ubiquity' by working across Britain, even going up into the Highlands in the 1980s. Since 1996, she has been based at Loughborough, with her current boiler ticket expiring in 2020.5305 Locomotive Association.
No. 46521LMS Ivatt Class 2 2-6-0Swindon WorksBR Lined Green, Early EmblemBuilt in 1953. 46521 was built at Swindon Works as part of a batch of Western Region Ivatt Class 2s. Because of this, she was based at ex-Great Western depots, including Oswestry (89A) and Machynlleth (89C), but was withdrawn from service in 1966 and was sent to Barry scrapyard during 1967. Her first home in preservation was at the Severn Valley Railway from 1971, restored at Bridgnorth in 1974. After several years of work, a complete rebuild including the fitting of off-road tyres was finished at Loughborough in late 2011. Her boiler ticket now expires in 2021. After four years sporting Unlined BR Black livery, 46521 was repainted into Lined BR Green in May 2016.Loughborough Standard Locomotive Group.

In 1928, she started a long period of work at Carnforth (11A), which lasted for 32 years. From 1960, many more allocations were made, ending at Edge Hill (8A) in 1967. Delivered to Woodham Brothers in the summer of 1968, all mechanical parts had been sold by the time she was rescued by the Rowsley Locomotive Trust in 1983. In 1989, owner Roger Hibbert took her to Loughborough, where restoration was completed in early 2010. Boiler ticket expires in 2019.Private owner.
No. 48624LMS Stanier Class 8F 2-8-0Ashford WorksBR Unlined Black, Early EmblemBuilt in 1943. Restored at Peak Rail in 2009. After nearly 30 years of work, she was repainted into an LMS maroon livery (only ever worn authentically by express-passenger classes of the company). She ran at the railway for about a year, and was then put on loan to other lines, but became a semi-permanent resident of the Great Central in early 2011. Repainted into a more authentic BR Black, her boiler ticket expires in 2019.48624 Locomotive Company.
No. 73156BR Standard Class 5 4-6-0Doncaster WorksBR Lined Black, Late CrestBuilt in 1956. 73156 is the last survivor of all Doncaster-built BR standards. Allocated to Neasden depot (34E), from where she would regularly work on the ex-Great Central line. After several spells at sheds on the London Midland Region, she was withdrawn in 1967. When rescued from Barry and taken to the East Lancashire Railway, most minor parts had already been sold, but many new ones were purchased and fitted by 2003, when she was transferred to the Great Central to continue restoration. A new BR1B tender has been built to replace the original. The locomotive returned to service in September 2017, but was stopped shortly afterwards requiring repairs to her bottom end. These repairs were completed in time for the locomotive to make its second debut into traffic for the Goods Galore gala in May 2018. Boiler ticket expires in 2027.73156 Standard 5 Support Group.
No. 78018BR Standard Class 2 2-6-0Darlington WorksBR Lined Black, Late CrestBuilt in 1953. 78018 entered traffic on 3 March 1954, at West Auckland Shed (County Durham). It was then transferred to Chester Midland in April 1960; Workington in 1962; Willesden in May 1963; Nuneaton in September 1965 and finally Shrewsbury before withdrawal on 12 November 1966. 78018 then spent 11 years at Barry scrapyard before being preserved at Shackerstone in November 1978.

78018 became famous for getting stuck in a snow drift during February 1955, which resulted in the film Snowdrift at Bleath Gill. This locomotive is now owned by the Darlington Railway Preservation Society and arrived at the GCR in November 2012 for the completion of its overhaul. An agreement is in place for the locomotive to become a resident at the GCR for the next 10 years. The restoration was completed in October 2016, in time for the locomotive to star in the autumn steam gala. Boiler ticket expires in 2026.

No. 567GCR Class 2 4-4-0N/AN/AUnder Construction. The Class 2s were a series of express locomotives built between 1887 and 1892 for use on the MSLR. When the LNER formed they became the D7s, by then they were already obsolete, and all were withdrawn between 1926 and 1939, with no preserved examples.[1] in 2011, a project was launced to build a new member of the class to modern engineering standards for running on the Great Central Railway. No 567 is new build locomotive, with cylinder block and tender chassis already purchased. The total project budget of £450,000 is projected.[2]LNER D7 Project
No. 1631USATC S160 Class 2-8-0American Locomotive CompanyN/ABuilt in 1942. 1631 was one of more than 2000 identical locomotives built for use in Europe during World War II. After the war it was retained for service in Hungary as number 411.388, withdrawn in the 1980s and converted into a static generator before being taken to England in 1995 for storage on the East Lancashire Railway. The locomotive changed hands twice before being moved to Ruddington in 2004. A large collection of parts from two other locomotives are also stored as a source of spares, and restoration is underway.Private Owner

No. 48305LMS Stanier Class 8F 2-8-0Crewe WorksBR Black, Early Emblem (On Completion)Built in 1943. 48305 was based for much of her career at Cricklewood (14A), operating across the Midlands. After moving between other sheds, including Crewe South (5B) and Speke Junction (8C), she was withdrawn in 1968, just before the end of steam. During the time spent at Barry she was sprayed with the words "Please don't let me die!" on the smokebox door, but was saved by Roger Hibbert in 1985 and was restored to steam in the next 10 years. In 2011, half way though her boiler ticket the decision was taken to perform another major overhaul. One of the main jobs of the overhaul has included an extensive rebuild of the tender. Will return to service for the 2019 Winter Gala.Private Owner
No. 34039 "Boscastle"SR West Country Class 4-6-2Brighton WorksBR Green, Late Crest (On Completion)Built in 1946. 34039 was based at Stewarts Lane TMD (73A). She was rebuilt at Eastleigh for use in Bournemouth (71B), and was withdrawn from service in 1965. She became the first motive power at Loughborough in 1973. Restoration was not completed until 1992, with many issues causing withdrawal in 2000. A group was formed in 2005 which is now working to return her to working order with a £200,000 overhaul programme.[3] The boiler is off site, and the locomotive has been re-wheeled.Boscastle Locomotive Limited.
No. 78019BR Standard Class 2 2-6-0Darlington WorksBR Black, Late Crest (On Completion)Built in 1954. 78019 was allocated to Kirkby Stephen (51H), working on local and banking duties through the Lake District. After turns to Willesden (1A), Nuneaton (2B) and Crewe South (5B) she was withdrawn in 1966 and sold to Barry Scrapyard, being moved there the next year. In 1973 she was moved to the Severn Valley Railway, but restoration was never carried out there due to more pressing projects. The locomotive was moved to the Great Central where its major restoration was completed in 2004. After giving eleven years of reliable service, 78019's boiler ticket expired in May 2015. Its ten-yearly overhaul is underway. 78019's tender is presently in use behind sister engine 78018.Loughborough Standard Locomotive Group.

No. 777 Sir LamielLSWR N15 class 4-6-0North British Locomotive CompanySR Malachite GreenBuilt in 1925. 777 was built by the North British Locomotive Company of Glasgow as one of the later batches of N15s, which became known as "Scotch Arthurs". Based mostly in service at Nine Elms (70A). After the war, she moved to Eastleigh Works (71A), but the Southern Region's electrification policy caused withdrawal in 1959. The NRM had earmarked her for preservation before then and in 1978, she returned to steam, after an extensive overhaul at Hull, Dairycoates (53A). A third overhaul, completed in 2006, has allowed for further operations on the national network. She failed in August 2017 following leaking boiler tubes and awaits overhaul.National Railway Museum.Cared for by the 5305 Locomotive Association.
No. 63601GCR Class 8K 2-8-0Gorton locomotive worksBR Unlined Black, Early EmblemBuilt in 1912. Following completion 63601 was based at Doncaster (36A), primarily hauling slow goods on former Great Central metals. She was withdrawn from service in 1966, as a veteran of two World Wars and three rail companies, but the role the O4s played in the early 20th century caused her to become custodian of the National Collection. An appeal was raised by Steam Railway to return her to steam, which was completed at Loughborough in 2000 and it became a regular and popular performer. Boiler ticket expired in late 2010, but its ticket was extended for another two years before it was withdrawn from service on 24 June 2012 when the extension expired. It is now awaiting overhaul.National Railway Museum.
No. 70013 "Oliver Cromwell"BR Standard Class 7 4-6-2Crewe WorksBR Lined Green, Late CrestBuilt in 1951. 70013 was allocated to the Eastern Region of British Railways on completion with her shed being Norwich (32A) until transfer to the LMR. Thanks to an overhaul undertaken at Crewe, she was the only member of the class operational in 1968 and was selected to haul the Fifteen Guinea Special at the end of steam. The importance of the train meant that she would join the National Collection, and in 2004 was moved to GCR for restoration to celebrate 40 years of the 1T57. Boiler ticket expired in December 2018.National Railway Museum.Cared for by the 5305 Locomotive Association.

Industrial locomotives

Industrial steam locomotives

Industrial steam locomotives became the mainstay of steam power in early British railway preservation before the Barry Scrapyard veterans were fully restored. Many have huge traction efforts despite their small sizes, making them more than capable of hauling large passenger trains.

Mainline diesel shunters

With period railway scenes in mind and with the cheaper and more effective running costs they can deliver, there are a handful of ex-British Rail diesel shunters based on site. Despite normally working lightly they sometimes feature at special events on passenger and freight traffic.

13101[5]British Rail Class 08
0-6-0DE		13101 (later D3101) was built at Derby Works as one of a batch of 10 air-braked shunters which were also given an English Electric 6KT engine and was allocated to the Southern Region. Based primarily at Ashford (73F) & Eastleigh (71A), in 1973 she left the Southern for use at Loughborough Midland station and its local sidings. After withdrawal she was bought by a Great Central Railway volunteer and arrived at Loughborough in December 1984. In 2010 she returned to regular shunting duties after a long restoration and now performs as shed pilot for Loughborough Central. Funds were raised on the 2012 Autumn Steam gala for this loco to be repainted and this long-awaited task was carried out and completed in time for the September 2013 Diesel gala, the livery being BR green.BR green with wasp stripes and the early crest.Private owner.1955
D3690 (08528) [6]British Rail Class 08
0-6-0DE		D3690 originally entered traffic in March 1959, and was mainly based on the Eastern Region of BR until EWS took over its ownership and concentrated its activities from Toton.

From archive photographs it is possible to see that it originally carried green livery with the standard diesel version of the lion and wheel totem displayed on its body side and battery box side. When moving to Stratford depot it underwent a repaint receiving a smart BR blue livery with the words "Liverpool Street Station Pilot" painted along the running plate.

Whilst at Stratford it has received a new power unit which remains today. When moving to Peterborough the loco again received new colours, this time a single dark grey engineer’s livery. In preservation, the loco now carries the British Railways green livery once again.

Her first home was at Eastleigh TMD (71A), working light-freight trains to and from Southampton Docks (71I). Retired in 1977 in favour of more-efficient classes, she left the area for a brief period of work in Middlesbrough, far cry from the Southern Region city port. After a lengthy amount of time spent in storage at Barrow Hill, she moved to the Battlefield Line Railway in 2002. She has since moved to the Great Central and spent a long time at Swithland sidings awaiting restoration. During summer 2012, 07005 was shunted out of Swithland sidings and moved to Loughborough Central were the restoration work will take place. This will include a full motor overhaul.

No. D8154[9]British Rail Class 20
Bo-Bo		D8154 was built by Vulcan (then under the control of English Electric) and had a more varied career than most members of the class, being based for spells on the London Midland, Eastern and Scottish Regions. In 1987 she was overhauled for the last time at Derby works, becoming the last one to receive such treatment. She was sold to EWS in 1999 and moved to the Churnet Valley Railway in 2000, remaining there until 2007. Now based at Ruddington, she has been restored to her 1970s condition.

She was first based at Toton (TO) but was then moved around and also saw service across all of Britain (sans the Southern Region), working from Crewe all the way to Edinburgh. In 1987 she became the last member of the class to haul a BR passenger train, and was soon withdrawn from service. 25035 sat at Humberstone Road until 9 September when it was moved to Vic Berry’s yard. In 2004 she moved to Loughborough for bodywork repairs from Northampton, and has remained there ever since.

No. 50017 Royal OakBritish Rail Class 50 Co-Co50017 was built at Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows in April 1968. The class were first allocated to the West Coast Main Line to work express trains north of Crewe to Glasgow via Preston, Lancaster and Carlisle as the north of the WCML beyond Crewe was not yet electrified. From 1974 the northern half of the WCML was electrified and 50017 plus its classmates were transferred to the Western Region working mainline passenger services from London Paddington along the Great Western Main Line (GWML). These services ran to places like Oxford, Bristol as well as Plymouth and Penzance.

50017 was withdrawn from service in September 1991.

No. 56097British Rail Class 56
Co-Co		56097 was built at Doncaster Works and entered traffic in October 1981, allocated initially to Tinsley depot. In its early years of service it was primarily a Yorkshire coalfield locomotive but its sphere of operation widened in later years and it also spent time allocated to Toton, Thornaby and Immingham depots. It was purchased from EWS in 2002 and overhauled by a very small team initially at the former Cathays Depot in Cardiff, and subsequently at the Ruddington site of the GCRN. The power unit was overhauled off site by North Lincs Engineering and then reinstalled at Brush Traction where a bogie swap was also undertaken. Following load banking on site at Ruddington 56097 entered service in 2008. Since then it has seen use on passenger services and on one occasion a freight train. On 23 October 2010 56097 hauled an incoming train of gypsum from Loughborough to East Leake Gypsum works with a trailing load of 1450t plus a GBRf class 66/7. 56097 was not used on timetabled passenger services during 2014 due to the unavailability of the GCRN's rake of air braked stock. It is nevertheless serviceable and available for traffic. 56097 has visited galas at the East Lancs Railway and the Mid Norfolk Railway, and is available for hire.Trainload Coal (half-yellow ends).Private owner.1981

Coaching stock

Whole sets of coaches are in use on a daily basis, from rare LNER postal vehicles and observation cars to the far more common BR Mk1s.

British Railways Mark 1 coaches

The BR Mark 1 entered service in 1951 as a standardisation of passenger stock on all regions. They were built using the best elements of the four railway companies stock creating a very sophisticated design. One of the largest groups preserved is used every operating day at the Great Central Railway as they fit in well with the 1950s-style atmosphere. Those examples which aren't in storage or under work are compiled into four uniformal rakes, each with brake and catering facilities.

British Railways Mark 2 and Mark 3 coaches

More modern BR stock isn’t really at home on a railway with period recreation in mind, but many have found work behind the scenes of the heritage operations. However, the Northern section intends to create a full vacuum-braked Mk2 set to replicate another lost era in British Rail history, taking less-efficient vehicles out of rotation as better examples are brought in.

Great Central Railway coaches

When the Great Central Railway was formed it was billed under the slogan "Rapid travel in luxury", and it was right to do this because it was able to boast the very latest and best in express passenger travel. Today the GCR Rolling Stock Trust based at Ruddington are the owners of the single largest collection of ex-GCR stock in the world.

Goods wagons

The GCR has a very extensive range of wagons and goods vans. Many are used as working vehicles on the railway for the transport of rail, ballast and equipment. Still more are used to run demonstration freight trains at the GCR’s gala events illustrating a time when most goods were carried by rail.[112]

Windcutter

Lengthy trains of mineral wagons were a common feature on British Railways and the Windcutter Project set out to recreate such scenes. The idea of preserving a long train of mineral wagons was first aired in Steam Railway early in 1992 and following an encouraging initial response an appeal was launched in the August issue to purchase suitable wagons for use on the Great Central Railway. The appeal was a huge success, Steam Railway readers and supporters of GCR raised over £14,000 to purchase and restore the wagons.

With the exception of the two un-restored wagons, all the mineral wagons in the ‘Windcutter’ fleet are either fitted with vacuum brake or have been through piped to run in a vacuum braked train. This means that to be fully authentic all the wagons should carry British Railways ‘Bauxite’ livery. However the original aim of the project was to recreate the sight of long trains of unfitted mineral wagons as seen on the GCR in BR days and all over the BR network in the days of steam, and in some areas even as late as the early 1980s. All BR un-fitted freight vehicles were painted grey and hence to recreate the overall appearance of a steam era mineral train the majority of the wagons in the ‘Windcutter’ fleet have been restored in this colour.[113]
