Yes, thanks for sharing! 
Seeing both locos tender-first makes me wonder about the turntable at Rothley - was it not in action, or was it simply that you took your shots before the return journey got them to Rothley and prior to them using it?

Thanks for the comments guys.
2002EarlMarischal. The turntable is at Quorn & Woodhouse station, not Rothley. I think that at the moment it is mostly used on event days, not when there only two engines running. Also I think it would be impractical for an engine to leave Loughborough-Leicester, only to stop and be turned half way along, and then carry on the rest of the way in reverse, what would be the point.
