Leicester Central 1957

£30.00

The Great Central was the last main line built to London, and sadly didn’t last very long; there’s little trace of much of it now. This simulation shows it at its peak, with an intensive freight service between Annesley, focus of the coal traffic, and Woodford Halse, where the traffic splits to go several ways.

Description

The Great Central was the last main line built to London, and sadly didn’t last very long; there’s little trace of much of it now. This simulation shows it at its peak, with an intensive freight service between Annesley, focus of the coal traffic, and Woodford Halse, where the traffic splits to go several ways. At this time Annesley had recently taken delivery of a large batch of the BR Standard 9F 2-10-0 locos, and these almost monopolise this traffic. Fitted in with the freight, and almost replacing it on Saturdays, is a range of passenger services, both local and long-distance. Right from the start it was GC policy to change engines at Leicester on most passenger services, and this still continued, though to a lesser degree. Engine-changing has to be slick, with often only five minutes from arrival to departure. In most cases where the engine is not changed it has to take water. This simulation has four track screens.
