GW Castle on Bristol St Philips Marsh

            In 1963 Castle 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe waits on the departure road at Bristol St Philips Marsh (82B).  The loco had been allocated to Old Oak Common from February 1956 until April 1962 when it moved to Cardiff Canton and finally to Cardiff East Dock (88L) in November 1962 on the closure of Canton to steam.  Withdrawn at the end of 1963, the loco was sold to Barry and purchased initially for spares at Tyseley, but full restoration followed.

The loco revisited Bristol five days ago with 7029 Clun Castle on a special from Bristol to Plymouth and return.
