The "5305 Locomotive Association" headboard carried by 45305 was probably in part to celebrate the group's success in being allowed to continue its work on restoring "SIR LAMIEL" for a further period of mainline operation. There have been problems between the NRM, GCR and 5305 that hopefully have been resolved now and all being well we shall see 30777 SIR LAMIEL hauling trains again on the National Network.
