Скачать или смотреть The Last Standard 2 Charter - 11th January 2026

UPDATE Video says the wrong year! This was taken in 2026.

Visiting Standard 2 locomotive No.78019 which is usually based at the Great Central Railway has been on hire to the Nene Valley Railway as part of their winter season, hauling Santa services and serving the railway well.

The Nene Valley Wagon Group, based on the railway was kind enough to plan and create a charter based around what was the last Standard 2 tender locomotive in service, 78064. The locomotive was specially renumbered for this event alone, and was a thrill to photograph throughout the day!

The charter took place at various locations along the line as seen in the video, most importantly the starting point being Overton station, which the wagon group are slowly developing the site to host their wagons, museum and many other various projects.

This video shows almost every run by done during the day, and is quite a lengthy video! But nevertheless well worth a watch.

Once again a huge thank you to the Nene Valley Railway and the Nene Valley Wagon Group for planning such a fantastic event. Looking forward to the next event!
