No. 6990 "Witherslack Hall"	GWR 6959 Class 4-6-0	Swindon Works		BR Lined Green, Early Emblem	Built 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, it was based at Old Oak Common TMD (81A) until 1966 and was then sold to Woodham Brothers Ltd. It was purchased for preservation and returned to the Great Central in 1975. The locomotive returned to service following its second 10-year overhaul in preservation in October 2015. During its last overhaul, Witherslack Hall's Collett tender was exchanged with 4930 Hagley Hall's former Hawksworth tender. Failed with boiler problems in 2022 and has been withdrawn from service early so it can be repaired and returned to service with a new boiler ticket. Returned to service in August 2023.	David Clarke Railway Trust.
No. 48305	LMS Stanier Class 8F 2-8-0	Crewe Works		BR Black, Early Emblem	Built in 1943. 48305 was based for much of its career at Cricklewood (14A), operating across the Midlands. After moving between other sheds, including Crewe South (5B) and Speke Junction (8C), it was withdrawn in 1968, just before the end of steam. During the time spent at Barry it 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, halfway through its boiler ticket the decision was taken to perform another major overhaul. One of the main jobs of the overhaul included an extensive rebuild of the tender. Returned to service for the 2019 Goods Galore Gala. Boiler ticket expires in 2029.[ citation needed ]	Private Owner
No. 73156	BR Standard Class 5 4-6-0	Doncaster Works		BR Lined Black, Late Crest	Built in 1956. 73156 is the last survivor of all Doncaster-built BR standards. Allocated to Neasden depot (34E), from where it would regularly work on the ex-Great Central line. After several spells at sheds on the London Midland Region, it was withdrawn in 1967.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 it 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 its 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. 78018	BR Standard Class 2 2-6-0	Darlington Works		BR Lined Black, Late Crest	Built 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.	Darlington Railway Preservation Society.
No. 78019	BR Standard Class 2 2-6-0	Darlington Works		BR Black, Late Crest	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) it was withdrawn in 1966 and sold to Barry Scrapyard, being moved there the next year. In 1973 it 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. Following expiry of the engines boiler ticket in May 2015 the engine was withdrawn for overhaul which was completed in Oct 2022. Boiler ticket expires in 2032.

No. 567	GCR Class 2 4-4-0	N/A		N/A	Under 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 launched 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. 63601	GCR Class 8K 2-8-0	Gorton locomotive works		BR Unlined Black, Early Emblem	Built in 1912. Following completion 63601 was based at Doncaster (36A), primarily hauling slow goods on former Great Central metals. It 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 it to become custodian of the National Collection. An appeal was raised by Steam Railway to return it 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. The overhaul began in 2019.

No. 1631	USATC S160 Class 2-8-0	American Locomotive Company		N/A	Built 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. it is currently for sale.	Private Owner
No. 7027 "Thornbury Castle"	GWR 4-6-0 GWR 4073 'Castle' 4-6-0	Swindon Works		BR Green, TBC (On Completion)	Built in 1949. 7027's first shed allocation was Plymouth Laira. In March 1959 the engine was re-allocated to Old Oak Common, this being the GWR's biggest shed and for 7027 it would spend most of its working career at 81A before being re-allocated in April 1960 to Worcester. 7027's final shed allocation in August 1963 was at Reading and the engine was withdrawn 4 months later in December 1963 before being moved to Woodham Brothers scrapyard in Barry, South Wales. Arriving there in May 1964. In August 1972 no 7027 was sold to the then Birmingham Railway Museum and left as the 23rd departure from Barry scrapyard. The engine was however never restored to working order and numerous parts were taken from the engine for use on fellow Tyseley based classmates No. 7029 "Clun Castle" and 5043 "Earl of Mount Edgcumbe". After being purchased by Pete Waterman's Transport Trust, it was stored outside the Crewe Heritage Centre still in its Barry Scrapyard condition. Following the removal of Waterman's railway equipment from the former LNWR site in 2016, it was moved to Peak Rail in April 2016. It was later sold on to Jon Jones-Pratt who planned to restore the engine to modern mainline standards. Owing to commitments elsewhere little progress was made on 7027's restoration and in January 2020 it was once again purchased by another individual with plans to restore the engine to working order, moving to Loughborough where the restoration is well underway. 7027 will however not be restored for mainline operation.

No. 30777 Sir Lamiel	LSWR N15 class 4-6-0	North British Locomotive Company		BR Lined Green, Early Emblem (on completion)	Built 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, it moved to Eastleigh Works (71A), but the Southern Region's electrification policy caused withdrawal in 1959. The NRM had earmarked it for preservation before then and in 1978, it 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. It failed in August 2017 following leaking boiler tubes. Overhaul began in 2020. The engines overhaul is being done to Network Rail standards as it is intended for the engine to once again run on the mainline on completion of its overhaul.	National Railway Museum.

No. 34039 "Boscastle"	SR West Country Class 4-6-2	Brighton Works		BR Green, Late Crest (On Completion)	Built in 1946. 34039 was based at Stewarts Lane TMD (73A). It was rebuilt at Eastleigh for use in Bournemouth (71B), and was withdrawn from service in 1965. It 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 it to working order with a £200,000 overhaul programme. [5] The boiler is off site, and the locomotive has been re-wheeled.	Boscastle Locomotive Limited.
No. 45491	LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0	Derby Works		BR Black, TBC (On Completion)	Built in 1943. Presently undergoing restoration from Barry Scrapyard condition.

No. 46521	LMS Ivatt Class 2 2-6-0	Swindon Works		BR Lined Green, Early Emblem	Built in 1953. 46521 was built at Swindon Works as part of a batch of Western Region Ivatt Class 2s. Because of this, it 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. Its 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. After four years sporting Unlined BR Black livery, 46521 was repainted into Lined BR Green in May 2016. Boiler ticket expired in November 2022.	Loughborough Standard Locomotive Group.
No. 48624	LMS Stanier Class 8F 2-8-0	Ashford Works		BR Unlined Black, Early Emblem	Built in 1943. Restored at Peak Rail in 2009. After nearly 30 years of work, it was repainted into an LMS maroon livery (only ever worn authentically by express-passenger classes of the company). It ran at the railway for about a year, and was then put on loan to other lines, before being based at the Great Central from early 2011. Boiler ticket expired on 31 July 2019 and is undergoing overhaul.	48624 Locomotive Company.
No. 70013 "Oliver Cromwell"	BR Standard Class 7 4-6-2	Crewe Works		BR Lined Green, Late Crest (On Completion)	Built in 1951. 70013 was allocated to the Eastern Region of British Railways on completion with its shed being Norwich (32A) until transfer to the LMR. Thanks to an overhaul undertaken at Crewe, it 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 it 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 and an overhaul began shortly afterwards. The engines overhaul is being done to Network Rail standards as it is intended for the engine to once again run on the mainline on completion of its overhaul.	National Railway Museum.

No. D2118	British Rail Class 03 0-6-0DM	Built at Swindon, D2118 was first based at Swansea (87A), to replace Great Western locomotives. Within less than a decade it moved to Barrow and was withdrawn in the 1970s due to mechanical failures. It was saved from scrap by contractors in Norfolk, but was out of work again by the 1980s. After being declared redundant a third time, it was preserved at Rutland Railway Museum and Peak Rail, where it was sold off in late 2010. The new owner moved the locomotive to Ruddington where restoration is taking place.	BR Rail Blue.	Private owner.	1959	~
No. 07005	British Rail Class 07 0-6-0DE	07005 was built by the Ruston and Hornsby engine company as part of the 14-strong class of shunters. Its 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, it 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, it moved to the Battlefield Line Railway in 2002. It 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. This major overhaul has now returned to the railway, and is currently stored behind Loughborough MPD awaiting work to continue.	BR Rail Blue.	Private owner.	1962

No. 08694	British Rail Class 08 0-6-0DE	08694 was built at Horwich Works and was first allocated to Annesley Depot (16B), carrying pre-TOPS number D3861. In 1962 it was moved to Nottingham (16A) and lived there until the shed closed in 1967. Following the closure it spent 20 years at Crewe until purchase by now-defunct EWS in the 1990s for work at Toton (TO), and Old Oak Common (OC). After retirement in 2009, it was delivered to the Great Central in 2009 from Rotherham. Its restoration was completed in 2013, enabling it to operate at the September Diesel gala. This loco is currently out of traffic awaiting work, now located at Ruddington.	EWS Red & Gold.	Private owner.	1959

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 it was overhauled for the last time at Derby works, becoming the last one to receive such treatment. It was sold to EWS in 1999 and moved to the Churnet Valley Railway in 2000, remaining there until 2007. Now based at Ruddington, it has been restored to its 1970s condition. Returned to service in 2018 following overhaul and a repaint into BR Blue.	BR Blue (full-yellow ends).	English Electric Preservation.	1966
No. D6535 Hertfordshire Rail Tours [10]	British Rail Class 33 Bo-Bo	D6535 was built by Birmingham Carriage & Wagon Company and was based at Eastleigh (71A) during BR service, performing on a variety of duties including passenger service and banking assistance. After disbandment of British Railways it was sold to EWS for freight work and was put into storage at Old Oak Common (OC) after an accidental collision. By this time it had been selected to become part of the NRM and was moved to Loughborough in 2005.	BR Rail Blue (full-yellow ends).	National Railway Museum. 5305 Locomotive Association.	1960
No. D6700 [11]	British Rail Class 37 Co-Co	D6700 was built at the Vulcan Foundry (under the control of English Electric) as the first member of its class. It was later renumbered 37119 in 1974 and 37350 in 1988 after being upgraded to 37/3 configuration. The locomotive spent its working life based at depots such as Thornaby and March. In 1998, it was named National Railway Museum, and was subsequently donated to the museum upon its withdrawal from service with EWS in 1999. In 2022, the locomotive was placed on loan to the Heavy Tractor Group and it moved to the GCR in March that year. It will remain on the line for a minimum of five years	BR Green with the Late Crest (half-yellow ends).	National Railway Museum. Heavy Tractor Group.	1960
No. 37714 Cardiff Canton	British Rail Class 37 Co-Co	The locomotive entered service in 1961 numbered D6724. it was renumbered to 37024 in 1973 and was allocated to depots such as Stratford and Cardiff Canton. In 1988 it was converted to be part of the refurbished heavyweight (Class 37/7) fleet where it lost its headcode boxes, was renumbered to 37714 and allocated to the Trainload Metals sector. In the mid-1990s it joined the EWS fleet which saw it work on railway infrastructure projects in Spain. In 2012 it was returned to the UK and became part of the DRS fleet, being used at Daventry International Rail Freight Terminal from the end of 2013. After this works contract ended, the locomotive was stored at Barrow Hill before being placed by DRS on loan to the GCR in 2016, under the care of the Heavy Tractor Group. The Heavy Tractor Group successfully raised funds to have 37714 repainted into Railfreight Triple Grey livery as it would have worn in the late 1980s. The repaint was completed in 2017 and the locomotive was also named Cardiff Canton, after one of the depots it was allocated to. The Heavy Tractor Group purchased the locomotive from DRS in 2018 and it remains operational at the GCR.	Railfreight Triple Grey with the Metals logo.	Heavy Tractor Group.	1961
No. D123 Leicestershire and Derbyshire Yeomanry [12]	British Rail Class 45 1Co-Co1	D123 was built at Crewe Works for use in the Midlands, first allocated to Derby (17A) and based there until 1965. Toton (TO) was to be its 1973 allocation, followed by Sheffield Tinsley Depot (TI) in 1986. Withdrawn in the following year, it remained in service and was used at Mickleover Test Track until 1990. It was selected (being in better condition than several other examples) for preservation in 1991 at Hull Dairycoates, but was purchased by the 5305LA and was transferred to Loughborough in 1998.

No. 46010 [13]	British Rail Class 46 1Co-Co1	46010 was built at Derby and was outshopped as D147 from new. Based in the Midlands until 1971, it was then transferred to the Western Region in 1971 to replace outdated diesel-hydraulic classes. In 1981 it moved again to Gateshead, but a series of major faults caused withdrawal in 1984. Narrowly escaping scrap, it was purchased for preservation at Llangollen in 1993. After several years of service it was offered a new home at Ruddington and has been actively based there since 2009. Following an extensive overhaul, it returned to passenger carrying service in April 2019.	BR Rail Blue (full-yellow ends).	D05 Preservation Ltd.	1962
No. 50017 Royal Oak	British Rail Class 50 Co-Co	50017 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. Following spells at Tyseley and the Plym Valley Railway, it operated on the mainline for a period of time. It was purchased by the GCR in 2019, entering service in the April..

No. D8098 [14]	British Rail Class 20 Bo-Bo	D8098 was built by Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns of Newcastle (then in the custody of English Electric), and was allocated first to Eastfield TMD in Glasgow, remaining there right up until the 1980s. It was then based at Tinsley (TI) and ended up spending its last years of work in the North East, finally withdrawn in 1991. It was purchased for preservation in 1992 and arrived on site at Loughborough, starting up again later in the same year. Underwent an overhaul in 2011. Stored awaiting repairs.

No. D5185 Castell Dinas Brân [15]	British Rail Class 25 Bo-Bo	D5185 was built at Darlington Works in 1963, the last mainline locomotive constructed in the city before the completion of 60163 Tornado in 2008. It 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 it 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 it moved to Loughborough for bodywork repairs from Northampton, and has remained there ever since. Returned to service in 2015 following repairs and saw regular service until 2022 when it was withdrawn due to requiring an overhaul, which is underway.

No. D5401	British Rail Class 27 Bo-Bo	D5401 was built at Birmingham Carriage and Wagon Works of Smethwick. Originally based at Cricklewood (14A), it was re-allocated to Eastfield Depot in 1969 for push-pull trains between Glasgow and Edinburgh. In 1983 it was selected to haul the Royal Train along the West Highland Line to Fort William, and continued to sport the decor that had been put on for the occasion right up to withdrawal in 1987. In 1988 it was officially preserved and was to be based at the Northampton & Lamport Railway until 2007. D5401 failed at Leicester North during the September 2012 diesel gala and only returned to service in March 2013 after some work taking place including the rotten roof panels being replaced with new ones and repairs to the top part of the frames. Undergoing overhaul at Loughborough.	BR Green with the Late Crest (half-yellow ends).	Private owner.	1962
No. D5830 [16]	British Rail Class 31 A1A-A1A	D5830 was built at Brush Traction works and allocated to Sheffield. Through its working life it was renumbered 31297, 31463 and 31563, fitted with electric heating equipment and subsequently worked on civil engineering trains after the heating was disconnected. After ending its career at Toton TMD (TO) it was bought as a source of spares for another class 31, but proved to be in better condition and was restored instead. Today it wears the prototypical livery that was carried by scrapped sister D5579. Moved to Ruddington in 2020 and is undergoing an overhaul.	BR Golden Ochre with the Late Crest (half-yellow ends).

Work is progressing to return it to traffic with an in-built steam boiler.	BR Blue with full yellow ends.	English Electric Preservation.	1961
No. 1705 Sparrowhawk [18]	British Rail Class 47 Co-Co	1705 was another brush-built example of Class 47, but with a major difference. Built as a prototypical Class 48 (a 47 body with a Sulzer 12LVA24-type engine), it was refitted with a standard engine in 1969. It was based for most of its working life in Sheffield and ended its career in 1991, and was then purchased for preservation by Pete Waterman for the East Lancashire Railway.

Diesel and electric multiple units

Though many are still undergoing long-term restoration, the economic benefits of diesel multiple unit and electric multiple unit trains has been able to be utilised as an easy option for early morning services, off peak services, as a second train or where a steam locomotive is unavailable. Their large windows allow for excellent views of the line and surrounding scenery.

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 are not 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 is not 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. ^[110]

Windcutter

63601 with the windcutter set.

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. ^[111]

No. 56 Ruddington	Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns (56 Class) 0-6-0 ST No. 7667	56 was built to a design developed by the makers to the specification of S&L based upon experience of the operation of Manning Wardle Locomotives and test operation of the Hunslet Austerity type for work at Corby. After withdrawal from service in 1969 56's first home in preservation was at the Kent and East Sussex Railway, operating there for a short period in the 1970s, before moving to Ruddington in the early 1990s with sister engine 63 Corby. The locomotive had two stints of service at Ruddington, in the 1990s and late 2000s/early 2010s. It was the first locomotive to haul a passenger train at Ruddington in 1993. Following several years of storage, the locomotive was sold at the end of 2020 and, along with 63, departed Ruddington in February 2021. Now based at the Epping Ongar Railway.	Plain Black	Private Owner.	1950
No. 63 Corby [114]	Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns (56 Class) 0-6-0 ST No. 7761	Corby was built by Robert Stephenson and Hawthorns of Newcastle in response to the success of the first batch of seven locomotives designed to work at Stewarts & Lloyds. Withdrawn from service in 1969 from Corby and was preserved on the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway, 63 worked on the K&WVR for a short time in the 1980s. After a period of being on static display transferred to Ruddington in 1997, returned to steam in 2005 but then withdrawn for firebox repairs in 2007. These were completed in December 2011, allowing the locomotive to operate until 2015, when it was withdrawn from service.

Diesel locomotives

Number & Name	Description	History & Current Status	Livery	Owner(s)	Date	Photograph
236364 Marblaegis	Ruston & Hornsby 88DS 4wDM	Marblaegis was built by Ruston & Hornsby to work at the British Gypsum foundry at Rushcliffe and East Leake, which is still part of the railway complex which makes up the Great Central's preserved northern section. In 1991 it was withdrawn from service and was chosen to remain at the railway as preserved. After 11 years spent in open storage it was towed to the heritage complex, covered in a decade of residue from the Gypsum company. A full overhaul and repaint followed and it returned to service in Summer 2003. It performed on shunting duties at Ruddington on some days and was repainted again in 2009. The locomotive now resides on the fledgling Invergarry and Fort Augustus Railway, having moved there around 2015.	Green.	Private owner.	1946
313394 (D2971)	Ruston & Hornsby 165DS 0-4-0DM	313394 moved to Ruddington in 2003, sporting BR Green with Wasp Stripes and the number D2971. Following a couple of years of use, it was withdrawn from service and placed into storage. It departed Ruddington in around 2008 and moved to the Telford Steam Railway. It has been returned to service and is a regular performer at Telford, still sporting the same BR Green livery.	BR Green with Wasp Stripes and Late Crest	Private owner.	1952
371971 Qwag	Ruston & Hornsby 48DS 4wDM	Qwag spent all of its working life at Frederick Parker LTD in Leicester, operating until 1969 when it was placed into storage. It was the first locomotive to be based at the newly preserved Great Central Railway, arriving at Loughborough in 1972. The locomotive was extremely useful in the early days of the railway, performing most of the shunting duties and assisting with the rebuilding of the line. Eventually the needs of the growing line outgrew the locomotive's capabilities and more powerful shunters were gradually acquired. Qwag fell out of use and spent a number of years in storage at the dock at Quorn. In 2004 it was purchased by one of the volunteers at the Ruddington end and the locomotive was restored to working condition in 2010. Eventually, the locomotive became surplus to requirements and was sold to a fledgling railway in East Yorkshire in 2013.	Green.	Private owner.	1954
D3690 (08528) [115]	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 carries the British Railways green livery. The locomotive departed in October 2020 and is now based at the Derwent Valley Light Railway.	BR Green (Late Crest) without wasp stripes	Private Owner	1955
D4115 (08885)	British Rail Class 08 0-6-0DE	08885 was withdrawn from service in May 1993 and moved to Ruddington the following year. Originally arriving in BR Blue, it was repainted into BR Green with Wasp Stripes, gaining its original identity of D4115. It was regularly deployed on shunting duties around Ruddington yard. It moved away from Ruddington in 2004 and ended up working back on the national network, having been sold to RT Rail. It then passed into the ownership of RMS Locotec and is currently in long-term storage at Wolsingham on the Weardale Railway.	RMS Locotec Blue with Wasp Stripes	RMS Locotec	1962
D9520	British Rail Class 14 0-6-0DH	D9520 was built in 1964 and was initially allocated to Cardiff Canton Depot and ended its working life working for the Corby Ironstone Quarries system, passing into preservation at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway in 1981. It then moved to the Rutland Railway Museum (now Rocks by Rail) in 1984 and spent many years operating passenger trains there. In 1998 the locomotive moved to Ruddington where it saw some service before being withdrawn for overhaul. It left Ruddington in April 2004 with this work still in progress, moving to the Nene Valley Railway where it was returned to passenger carrying service and has remained there ever since, still in regular service.	BR Green with wasp stripes	Iron and Steel Traction Group	1964
D8007 (20007)	British Rail Class 20 Bo-Bo	D8007 was built in 1957 and remained in service until 1993. Initially, it was preserved by the English Electric Preservation Group at the Churnet Valley Railway and its restoration began. In 2007 the locomotive moved to Ruddington and its restoration was completed in the same year. The locomotive remained operational at Ruddington until it was sold and moved off site in around 2015. The locomotive has now been returned to mainline operation, where it can now be seen regularly on various duties.	BR Green with Yellow Warning Panels		1957
D7629 (25279)	British Rail Class 25 Bo-Bo	D7629 was built in 1965 and has a 21-year operational career, mainly based in the Midlands and North West of England. It was withdrawn from service in Marc 1987 and was preserved at the Llangollen Railway in 1988. It remained at Llangollen until 1997 and spent time at Chinnor and Gloucestershire before being sold to its present owner in 2000. Initially preserved at Loughborough, it moved to Ruddington around 2003 where it was a mainstay in operations for many years. It departed Ruddington in 2015, first moving to the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway, before moving to its current base, the East Lancashire Railway in 2018. After many years in BR Green, the locomotive now wears BR Blue with full yellow ends, and its later number of 25279. It remains operational.	BR Blue with Full Yellow Ends	Private owner.	1965
37075	British Rail Class 37 Co-Co	37075 was built in 1962 and spent time at a variety of depots around the country. At some point in its operational career, it suffered accident damage to one of its noses and this was replaced by a different style of nose with one end being the original split head-code design, the other being flat and with no head-code boxes. This irregularity still exists today. In 1998 the locomotive was preserved and moved to Ruddington where it was restored to working order and could be regularly seen hauling passenger trains. During its time at Ruddington, it first sported Railfreight Grey and then BR Blue. In 2005, the locomotive departed Ruddington and spent some time at the Ecclesbourne Valley Railway and then the Churnet Valley Railway, before departing to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway in 2012, having been purchased by several of the railway's volunteers. The locomotive remains operational and can still be seen hauling passenger trains.	Railfreight Grey with Full Yellow Ends	Private owner.	1962
No. 56097	British 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. As well as operating at Ruddington, it also visited other galas such as at the Mid Norfolk Railway and East Lancashire Railway. Departed Ruddington in November 2022 and is stored at Longport.	Trainload Coal (half-yellow ends).	Private owner.	1981
Nos. M51616 M51622	British Rail Class 127 DMBS DMS TSLRB	M51616 carries the name "Alf Benney". After being out of action for more than 10 years, M51616 and M51622 returned to service at the September 2013 Diesel gala. Withdrawn from traffic soon after, pending bodywork and maintenance work. In early 2020 the unit departed for the Helston Railway for overhaul to working order, having been on the GCR for 35 years.	BR Lined Green.	Private owner.	1959
No. 28 Bardon [116]	Andrew Barclay 0-4-0DM	Bardon was built at Andrew Barclay's Caledonian Works in Kilmarnock. Originally named Duke of Edinburgh , it worked at Bardon Hill Quarries in Leicestershire for 25 years until being put out of use in 1981. After four years in active storage it was given away to the Great Central's former owning charity in 1985. Its main job was to pilot permanent way trains for the extension of the line between Rothley and Belgrave and Birstall, but upon its completion it was taken out of service once again. This loco was based at Rothley, as a shed pilot for the Railway Vehicle Preservations carriage works. Moved to Peak Rail for restoration, now believed to be based at the East Lancashire Railway.	Lined Green.	Private owner.	1956
