good response to our bold move to preserve a 4CIG we are turning over
an entire weekend to it and National Railway Museum Class 33 D6535.
Now is the chance for fans of the stock to make their way to
Loughborough for a weekend of mileage. If you love it, come and show
us."
The railway's double track will be put to good use so the 4CIG can
slot around the normal steam passenger service. The timetable will be

shall repeat!"
