.... and I was thinking they were the same locomotive, just with tender changes and number / nameplates - aka Galatea / Alberta!! Fantastic to see both of them together. Thanks for sharing. Al.
beautiful double header!! make my heart warm to see it, amazing! love visit at didcot and enjoy around here with many steam trains. thank you for brilliant video! keep it good work
I went to Oxford and Banbury for the return trip and the footage is now on YT if you'd like to have a look. They were certainly giving those locos some wellie at Oxford! The footage from Didcot will have to wait for another day though.
Even foreigners like me can notice the wonderful design. Surely these locos must be in the top 10 aesthetically speaking steam locos worldwide? In September 2022, an RTC trip I'd booked on was cancelled due to low passenger numbers. This year I've again booked but unfortunately it won't be these superb locos. Superb filming. Some of the scenes could have been 1953, not 70 years later. Thank you for your ongoing dedication.
Fantastic collection of shots of the castles 🙂& very lucky not to get blacked out for the coming towards ya shot at the end. Also to help ya for the info on the last mainline castle double header was in 2009 when 5043 double headed with 5029. Richard
Superb Footage there of the 2 Castles working hard 5 stars.

What a wonderful sight - and sound; nothing to match it! Many thanks.
Always a pleasure. Beautifully done. Thank you for sharing your film.
Great video, great sight, great sound 👍👍👍
The first ever pairing of two double chimney castles in preservation, and at Didcot the first pairing of both Castle earls in preservation

Absolutely brilliant video as always! Close call with that Vomiter at Bishops Itchington lol. Beautiful shot at Leamington too. Regards, Dan
I remember them as an every day event. So good to see them still at work today. Great video, thank you 👍👍👍👍

I am glad to see there is no diesel banker

It'd be really great if we got a footplate movie of one of 5043's journeys one day
You were so close to get bowled by that voyager but luckily that tour got to you first before the voyager did
Wonderful video :)
