The Brush factory adjacent to Loughborough station is seen in the afternoon sunshine. The building is familiar to those who still travel along the MML and is still present despite it general decline over recent years leading to its closure in 2018. Brush has been involved in many types of manufacturing over the years but of course is probably best known to railway enthusiasts for the traction gear fitted to many classes of locomotives such as Class 31, 47 and 45. In more recent years they had been involved in actual work on locomotives such as HSTs, class 60 and Class 92s utilising their handy rail connection.
