The Steam Locomotive that I was at Heyford and Tackley for. This is a Great Western Railway Castle Class, 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe about to pass through Tackley working 1Z43 1230 Didcot Parkway to Stratford-upon-Avon. Taken 21st October 2024

Great photo Simon.

Why do British steam locomotives look so majestic?

Didn’t know about this, live in Upper Heyford and would have joined you!

What a fabulous picture!! Was this a private charter? I only saw any details of it announced earlier today xD
