Wonderful to see those huge driving wheels turning so rapidly through Swinton! Memories of happy 1950s schooldays beside the main Paddington-Bristol line, with the likes of The Bristolian and The Merchant Venturer passing by.
Cheers John, yes it was quite the day! I did enjoy seeing her under the train shed, iconic that structure is indeed. Her departure was sound. Regards, Dan
Well done Dan and thanks for sharing the memory of your Grandad.... I bet he would never have imagined a Castle on his ECML though. You were lucky getting back to NS for the final clip as her early running was curtailed by Coleshill so had to hang about a bit myself at WO. Regards, Brian.
Cheers Brian! And yes I think it would have been rather a surprise to him being so used to A3s, V2s, Streaks and so forth lol! Yes I was lucky to get back there, I got into Derby not long after her planned time only to find she was actually in Tamworth lol! Regards, Dan
Great video Dan. I was at York as well I was at the end of platform 5 when the castle departed. If I knew you were at York I would have said Hi. Regards,James.
Cheers Liam, thanks for the company lol, was great to discuss the match and the steam otherwise I'd have been bored out my skull at Derby lmao. Hopefully you can make the next one mate! Regards, Dan
Certainly recognisable straight away. I've gotten to the point where I can even tell whether it's 5043 or 7029 purely based on the bark 😂😂. Regards, Dan
Fantastic shots you made .
Thank you very much, I'm delighted you enjoyed them! Regards, Dan

Castle bark on departure ,I instantly recognisable,
Certainly recognisable straight away. I've gotten to the point where I can even tell whether it's 5043 or 7029 purely based on the bark 😂😂. Regards, Dan
The Mighty Castle In Person Grand ,A Castle more than a match for any 462
Certainly! The Castles are definitely a match for 4-6-2s, especially when comparing on efficiency and sure footedness! Regards, Dan
