A cracking video of the day's proceedings my good sir, 5043 & 7029 seemed to put in some stunning performances; they stormed Hatton Bank at 62mph on the return, a sight & sound to behold from my point of view! The line-up of four Castles at Didcot looked fantastic too, it must have been a great day for those in attendance. All the best, Adam 🙂
I saw them at Oxford and Banbury on the return trip and they were going like the proverbial clappers through Oxford! That footage is now on TH-cam, but the footage from Didcot will have to wait for another day.
Greetings from Alsace! I've mentioned this before, but I'm still looking for an answer. Watching the motion of the two castles, it is apparent that there is a small difference in the rotation of the driving wheels. This suggests that there is a small difference in the driving wheel diameters. Any ideas, anyone?
Loco driving wheels were removed from the loco, put on a lathe and reprofiled a time or few in their lifetimes with the overall diameter being reduced slightly each time. I believe the difference in radius (or is it diameter?) between a wheel with new tyres and one that's been reprofiled for the last time is about two inches.
Nice Steam locomotive in action, great video! Good job, Daniel! Thumbs Up

Curiosity question, what does FWC mean? I was thinking of Collet, but his initials were CB. Great video, thanks for sharing 👍👍👍
I think it stood for 4 western Castles however Im not entirely sure. thanks for the comment regards daniel
@@danielstrainsukofficial9133 Makes sense, thanks 👍👍

@@mikemorley3647 Merci! A very reasonable explanation.
Thanks again

Has a Castle ever been painted in BR express blue like 6023?, I think that'd look pretty amazing
i dont think so however im not entirely sure, regards Daniel
