    6023 King Edward 11

    I guess she'll be green in time, but for the moment, she will look breathtaking in blue.

    6023 to GCR in Autumn

    Only a few more months until 6023 is complete and running. From the picture in Steam Railway, it looks as if they're fitting the "mainline" lower...

    The First Moor St. Express. 11 Dec. 2010.

    Another triumph for Vintage Trains and for 5043. Moor St. station looks superb. A video taken from the parallel HST for those three or four miles...

    The Pride of Swindon 5043 to Carlisle via the S & C -16th October

    Exactly. It would take more than one extra coach to make 5043 struggle on the S&C. The fact is that at high steaming rates, 5043 in its final...

    The Pride of Swindon 5043 to Carlisle via the S & C -16th October

    I hadn't thought of that. You're dead right, usually GWR four-cylinder locos have leaking steam around the front end when working hard, especially...

    The Pride of Swindon 5043 to Carlisle via the S & C -16th October

    I'm no expert, but I too would have thought that 50% cut off and full regulator might be unsustainable for mile after mile. However, if you watch...

    The Pride of Swindon 5043 to Carlisle via the S & C -16th October

    Interesting. So if 5043 has produced only 90 edhp less, it shows just how good a Castle it is. I can't help but think that if 6024 was to be given...

    The Pride of Swindon 5043 to Carlisle via the S & C -16th October

    Mike Notley calculated 2030 edhp on the last mile to Ais Gill summit southbound. Incredible performance! I don't know if a King has ever produced...

    The Pride of Swindon 5043 to Carlisle via the S & C -16th October

    I keep watching GreatWestern175s Youtube video of the southbound approach to Ais Gill summit. The sound from 5043 is just fantastic. The lads at...

    The Pride of Swindon 5043 to Carlisle via the S & C -16th October

    Watching Linesider's brilliant video of the southbound climb to Ais Gill summit, it's apparent that over the last mile or so, the safety valves on...

    The Pride of Swindon 5043 to Carlisle via the S & C -16th October

    By the name that I use here, "Penricecastle", I guess you can tell that I love Castles. I am unable to travel on main line steam and rarely see or...

    The Pride of Swindon 5043 to Carlisle via the S & C -16th October

    Brilliant video Austin. After its Shap triumph, I think someone on here said that the REAL test was the S & C. There is now proof for all to see...
