On 9th July 2006, D7629, fresh from overhaul and repaint, was used to move a freight train from 50Steps Jct to Rushcliffe Halt, GCRN. Steve Boulton was on-hand to record the events. Steve's Photopic site has the full set of pictures, but a small selection are reproduced below. Sincere thanks to Steve for his kind permission to use the pictures here.
