I like your Museum and my favourite engines are the pannier carephilly castle king George v and City of Truro
Thanks saw this loco at Shildon’s Locomotive museum, she was easily my favourite loco there. I’m pleased she is back home. I’m a GWR convert, having been a LNER loco spotter as a boy, also saw many LMS. I love GWR 2-8-0 & 2-8-0T and 72xx.
Yessssss
Thank you!
I 'spotted' this loco on my annual holiday to South Wales, which would have been 1963 as she was withdrawn later that year from Neath
Loved shooting this for you.
TOM SYKES - CAMERAMAN you did a great job
I was there again this year, 3 in a row. Took my Thomas the tank engine and Stephenson's rocket train models in hopes of getting a few pictures and there was a stand where someone displayed their own versions of those trains. Hope to get a display there one day
Please tell me how far away is this museum from the Didcot Railway Centre because we are planning to come here in the summer holidays and go Didcot Railway Centre
