The East Lancashire Railway in October - 31 October 2009
31st October 2009

The dearth of ex-BR tender engines on the ELR through the summer began to be rectified in early October with the arrival of John Cameron's K4 2-6-0 No 61994 The Great Marquess. She was later joined by Ian Riley's Class 5 4-6-0 No 45407, which had also had a spell north of the border. Nevertheless, it took a contingent of industrial locos to make up a decent fleet of locos for the gala at the end of the month.
