Here's 91101 at Kings Cross. It's hard to imagine that this loco is now approaching its 40th birthday (although comparing it to the new units it looks a bit clunky!)

Often overlooked by enthusiasts, these items of plant on display at The Greatest Gathering were all built in Derby. The Rail Grinder was built at Loram's facility across the road; and the small metal trolleys were built by Donfabs & Consillia
