Hugh, thanks so much for posting this. The final shots really brought a lump to my throat. I remember as a kid arriving in Paddington on the Welsh express behind a Castle, and going up to look at the engine (which everyone else took for granted), and seeing the firehole door open, a low dull glow from what was left of the fire, the crew tidying up, and the engine just summering quietly, with the copper chimney band discoloured by the heat, and droplets of oil on the smokebox.
Thanks for a great video. It was a brilliant event that I saw from the lineside, you have given an excellent insight into the whole day. Terrific stuff.
