Some amazing scenes here at Didcot as a famous GWR shot from former days is recreated with 4 Castle locos lined up outside the famous Didcot shed.
See 7029 Clun Castle and 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe arrive from Tyseley via Snow Hill with a private charter.
The double-headed locos reverse the Vintage Trains coaching stock into the Didcot Parkway Sidings before making their way into the depot to line up alongside 40790 Pendennis Castle and 5051 Drysllwyn Castle.
Some amazing views here - Lot's of people out today so it's very busy!
Hope you enjoy the video! Thanks for watching.

Superb, just superb...

@iansomers376 Год назад

Just incredible that 4 loco's of the same class from the same railway company remain operational well into the 21st Century and continue to look splendid.

@bobwilcox1147 Год назад

Didcot always gets these lineups so exactly spot on. Me thinks there's a lot of measuring goes on before hand!

@trainsplanes Год назад

They got everything spot on today - Really great day out 👌👍

Lovely filmed. A pleasure to watch, an event I knew nothing about.

Thanks - Glad you enjoyed it.

I haven't seen crowds like this for 15 years at Didcot. So pleased to have got there for this special day.

@trainsplanes Год назад

It’s was very busy - They did well 👍

Cool video I even see myself and my family in it 😂 thanks for sharing

@trainsplanes Год назад

Thanks - Hopefully everyone enjoyed the day out 👍

@@trainsplanes Yeah man but was a little too crowded in places and that queue line for refreshments sucked

Thanks a lot Phillip 👍🙏

@tweed532DaveH Год назад

Anybody else chuckling with '4 candles' and a certain Ronnie Barker sketch? Or even a maritime link 'forecastle'? Cool video and audio regardless..🕯️🕯️🕯️🕯️🚂🚂🚂🚂🚢🤔🤭😉👍🇬🇧

@unconditioned_ride Год назад

To make the full comparison it would have to be "Fork Arseholes", which doesn't quite match the original humour!!

@michaeltaylor1869 Год назад

Hi very good camera work as usual great to see a double header best video great to see 4 gwe

@levelcrossing150 Год назад

A great line-up.

@trainsplanes Год назад

One to remember for sure 👍

@spankflaps1365 Год назад

It’s like another golden age of steam. The big events are more frequent than ever, and the crowd sizes are noticeably increasing. 😃

@KINGANDCASTLE Год назад

Nice one. I wonder if I'm on there somewhere?

@46115al Год назад

If only I could buy Thornbury Castle.....

@Nate0493 Год назад

This was today??! I thought it was in June, unless there’s another one

@trainsplanes Год назад

Hi Nate, yes it was today - There is a day at Tyseley in June.

@Shed87AProductions Год назад

Epic stuff, was also in your area when then was filmed so I have a small idea where I am in these shots 😀

@trainsplanes Год назад

Thanks - Top day that was.. Really good to see 👌👍

@Shed87AProductions Год назад

@@trainsplanes Indeed it was, especially to see 5051 out of the shed for the first in forever

@ronfisher2-railwaytravelvideos Год назад

@@Shed87AProductions I was also in that crowd somewhere. I can remember going on a railtour from Didcot to the Severn Valley many years ago behind 5051 and she certainly gave us an entertaining run. I've got lots of video footage from yesterday to edit, but all I've had time to do so far is 5043 and 7029 racing through Oxford on the return trip with whistles screaming and the regulators in the the rooves! The footage at Didcot will have to wait for another day...

@Shed87AProductions Год назад

@@ronfisher2-railwaytravelvideos Would that have been the Severn Valley Crusader by chance?

@ronfisher2-railwaytravelvideos Год назад

@@Shed87AProductions No idea! It was a long time ago - late 70s / early 80s probably.

@unconditioned_ride Год назад

Clun and EOME together, must be a record for the longest and shortest named Castles ever to double head?

@trainsplanes Год назад

That’s probably very true 👍

@nononsense3528 Год назад

Steam Engines, what’s not to love……👌🏻

@trainsplanes Год назад

Absolutely 💯 👍

@Sarahbryson321 Год назад

Were castles Broad gauge

@SSSVergil Год назад

Always been standard gauge since Caerphilly Castle first rolled out

@roderickjoyce6716 Год назад

No. The last broad gauge lines were converted to standard gauge in 1892. The Castles were introduced in 1923.

@davidpeplow8780 Год назад

In my spotting days (mid-late 50s) I managed to 'cop' all Castles apart from one - 5033 Broughton Castle evaded me for 5 years. Still hate the look of the double chimneys though!
