Another precious record from the archives of a preservation milestone.
Unique locomotive number 71000 'Duke of Gloucester' was initially restored from scrapyard condition at the Great Central Railway in the 1970s and 1980s. This quirky film mixes cine footage and news commentary to document the officially rededication of the engine by His Royal Highness The Duke of Gloucester at Rothely, in November 1986.
The team involved with the restoration meet HRH at a special reception - a run northwards to Loughborough follows!
