- Great Western Castle class 4079 'Pendennis Castle' is seen on the Picturesque Churnet Valley Railway in Staffordshire on a standard operating day. Having missed the steam gala at the start of May we were afforded a chance to witness the sight and sound of a single chimney Castle pounding up the steep climb to Ipstones Loop. While the highlight of the railway will always include the climb to Ipstones, you could argue that the railway's jewel in the crown is the rural station of Consall.
Consall is generally only accessible via train or along the canal footpath, the road down to it is a bit rough to say the least. The station is well preserved and the surrounding area well kept. The highlight of the location is no doubt 'The Black Lion Pub' which sits adjacent to the railway and canal and offers superb views of railway and its station infrastructure. While waiting between trains we of course sampled the delights of one the finest pubs along any preserved railway. 4079 is due to leave The Churnet Valley Railway at the start of June so there is still time to enjoy the sight and sound of the current loudest Castle class in operation today !
I hope you enjoy the video.
Hey, it’s the former Australian citizen! Lovely to see it back home and in lovely condition (as much as I wish we still had a great western engine in Western Australia)
Mouthwatering photography and sound with a stunning background. Mmmmm. Thank you.
Yep…beautiful surroundings as well…thanks..the Netherlands
Great video, wonderful sounds. Thanks for sharing.
The usual tremendous scenery for this wonderful railway. Very thoughtful photography.
What a stunning production, deserves an Oscar. Well done to all. 👏👏
Amazing video mate wish it was a resident there
@derbyshiretrainboy235 me aswell but running up that bank hasnt done her any good it would mean constant work on her unless the leaks and various other things were fixed
Liam & Phil, Nicely captured and I agree Consall is an idyllic place. Regards, John
Looks like pendennis castle is trying to show everyone in Staffordshire why she’s in her centenary year
Excellent footage there Liam and Phil of the Castle. She sounds superb.
When Pendennis Castle makes herself heard, you only have time to gaze at her in my book. Music to my ears.
Brilliant pictures. Thanks for sharing these
Excellent video Liam and Phil of the castle. She looks and sounds amazing. Kind regards C&A
Great Videography
Superb filming. Thanks!!
Tío Pendennis..."viejo y peludo nomás"...todavía corretea con 100 años...va y viene...las ruedas y rieles chirrían el final de su destino...faltaba un arco de flores gigante en la frente de la locomotora, lo bueno es, que los pocos pasajeros soñarán con los paisajes y el aire de verano...Suerte.
Beautiful Old Station!
Well done video :)
Excellent video!
Last time I checked the Caldon Low line had been cut back to near Bottom Lane bridge. Why? I remember going on it all the way to Caldon Low quarry or what’s left of it back in 2007. Cutting the line back is utterly ridiculous! We want more and longer heritage railways not less!
Sure about that?
Who is going to pay for the upkeep of a longer railway?
@@colinroberts1280 Who do you think?
@@nigelkthomas9501 You because you want longer preserved railways.
Didcot really need to sort out those steam leaks at the front end, it’s a bit ridiculous now.
