Description: Queueing for the footplate. This "functional" little Polish tank engine is about to haul a train out of Kingsley and Froghill Station, the preserved southern terminus of the Churnet Valley Railway. Unfortunately, this service goes beyond the usual Cheddleton destination, and line climbs steeply up towards Ipstones. Consequently a diesel unit is coupled onto the rear end of the train to give assistance, pushing from behind where the green locomotive has insufficient power.
