The Spring Cornish Explorer plus a visit to the Steam Museum in Swindon

Saturday the 4th of May and Simon and dad set of early to Swindon to see a diesel railtour, the Spring Cornish Explorer, hauled by a pair of double-heading class 37s.
37668 and 37518 were a great sight to see in their West Coast Railways maroon livery and made a wonderful noise powering out of Swindon.
And whilst in Swindon we paid a visit to Steam, the museum of the GWR. Simon loves this museum and we have visited it many times. We especially like to see City of Truro.
We hope you enjoy our video, and May the 4th be with you!

Fantastic video Simon.
I bet those class 37 diesels look so cool especially when they growl away from the station. Swindon steam museum looks like a very interesting and fascinating place to visit. I love how you get to interact with both a signal box and engine driver simulator so you could learn how people did these jobs on the railway themselves back in the day. Lucky you spotted City of Truro and King George V, it is equally special that you got to see the real engine as well as have a model of it in your train shed. When Isambard Kingdom Brunel rode the Liverpool and Manchester railway on rocket, he could barely draw anything let alone a circle. So, he opted for wooden sleepers instead and it worked considerably. This practice is still used on railways today.
Also, I saw your photos of Clun Castle on Facebook and it looks absolutely beautiful.
Keep your steam up Simon
take care
