It all started with Caerphilly castle who was the first castle loco to come out in 1923 before the others joined In and as of now we still get to have some castles are still there on the mainline as well as heritage lines

[@crunchynutsteamfilms5043]

That's it mate, 1923. The Castles are absolutely brilliant, wherever they operate. Regards, Dan

[@thebrummierailenthusiasts5329]

@@crunchynutsteamfilms5043 yeah and they are the excellent express engines just like the kings and halls

[@MichaelThomas-fg9kv]

What a brilliant finish to a really good compilation. Many times up Hemerdon with ten, or eleven, occasionally twelve with help!!! Thanks for the memory. an ex, sailor.

[@crunchynutsteamfilms5043]

Thank you very much! Yes I did think that would be a fitting end as it's probably the most impressive Castle performance I've ever seen. They did indeed assault Hemerdon with all they had! No worries, I'm glad you enjoyed. Regards, Dan

WOuld 7029 be om My Demonstration of the New York Central railroad.

[@crunchynutsteamfilms5043]

Historically she never has but given other Castles have been abroad you could call it artistic license. Regards, Dan

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

Do you have any footage of either Nunney Castle or Defiant from days gone by?

[@crunchynutsteamfilms5043]

I wish I did but sadly not. I wasn't filming back then. Regards, Dan

[@keithdeley7236]

Why is there a diesel engine on the back of these trains

[@crunchynutsteamfilms5043]

Sadly diesel presence on the back is an increasingly common practice, however there's many reasons given for them; to provide heating for coaches, to act as insurance for locomotive failures or steep gradients, sometimes to assist with turning moves at their destination and in case of hot weather and fire risk. Personally I'd love to see more tours without diesels but unfortunately this isn't something I'm in charge of lol. Regards, Dan
