This video originally started out as just clips of 5043 'Earl of Mount Edgcumbe' and 5029 'Nunney Castle' in action this year. However, in late November, following ongoing firebox and boiler stay issues, Nunney Castle was unfortunately withdrawn from service; the morning before what was planned to be her final mainline run, 'The Marches Castle'. It is unsure whether she will return any time soon, or even at all. So instead of the two Castles, this video is dedicated to Nunney herself, and to all the people who kept her going for everyone to enjoy.
Included in this video are various shots from 2014 and 2013 of Nunney at work on both the mainline, and on heritage lines.
