The single chimney Castle was, to my mind and to many another, the most beautiful and perfectly proportioned of all steam locomotives. Oh yes, they performed well too ! Well done C B Collett on a grand design
It's so Beautiful seeing How these Train's are being looked after.. You can Just Feel the Pride.. We also had such Beautiful Trains... But we Unfortunately don't have A Government that Recognizes The Value of these Monstrous Beauty's... They've either been vandalized or just dumped in an Area, for them to Just Rust Up.... To Most they've been a Valuable, Valuable Beauty & Stunningly Beautiful Experience.... 💫🌟❤🌟💫
I do think that might have been the intention of the designers at Swindon . They were designed to pull the heavier trains on maybe more difficult terrain so just as well they were more “ muscular “.

That was some day out, marvellous footage 👍
Thanks, yes it was! Wish I could do it all again!
When going on a train journey was a special event 🙂
I wish that the regular diesel service could have so much passengers accommodation!

I tend to think of Kings and Castles as the more muscular brothers of Halls and Manors. There's something
about that hefty "beat" as they start away.

Thanks for your comments and for subscribing Stefano
Me encantan estos trenes. ¿Todavía funcionan con regularidad o son para excursiones? No deberían funclonar por contaminantes.
Nice trip ! 😍
Well done, you missed the best view coming into Weymouth.
Wrong side of the train 😢
