Following my trip behind the engines sibling 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe on a railtour in March, it was now time to tick off a trip behind Tyseley's second double chimney castle 7029 Clun Castle. While it wasn't that long a journey as it was only along the 42 mile long York to Scarborough line this was still to be my first trip behind 7029 Clun Castle on a railtour.
I had travelled behind 7029 on the mainline a few years earlier during an open weekend, but that was only on a Dorridge to Birmingham Moor Street shuttle train for the open weekend they we're running.
This tour also mean't that I had officially travelled over 10,000 miles behind preserved steam traction on the mainline, and I haven't finished travelling behind steam locos on railtours for 2024 yet (subject to if matters elsewhere are sorted out). Officially all I now need to finish off the Tyseley pool of castle's for mainline haulage is single chimney classmate 5080 Defiant.
