5029 Nunney Castle

And just for good measure, we stopped at the new station on the way out, just so we could say that we were the first Steam loco to stop there!

 

Out of interest, what's that big box on the back of the tender with what looks like a dome on it? I know it has had 2 extra "tool boxes" behind the coal space for quite some time now, but this looks new.

It is part of the GSM-R Radio equipment, with the antenna on top. Very good system, but doesn't sit too well on steam engines.

 

Cheers for the info, I wonder where it is situated on other M/L steam locos?

 

Mostly in/under the tender. It also depends on how forceful the loco owner is in not allowing an awful carbunkle to be stuck on top of the tender. As far as I am aware there is no GSMR kit on the loco.
