Clock on for an early shift with volunteers Andy Fillingham and Dave Loasby, as they take you through lighting up and preparing a loco for service.

It's 6am, there's a chill in the October air but there is plenty of work to be done to bring GWR Modified Hall, number 6988 'Swithland Hall' into service on time.
(Swithland Hall is actually number 6990 Witherslack Hall running with a temporary identity).
