Nearly missed it. Got there at 2.30 just in time to see them go from Didcot with their train.

[@trainsplanes]

Good timing - You didn’t want to miss these! 👍

[@LiamsLocos]

Mate fantastic! Would of been great to bump into you but it was so busy! My video is in the process

[@trainsplanes]

I’ll take a look at your video tonight 👍

[@terrier_productions]

Everyone is talking about the centenary of a certain airbourne scot but no one is talking about the centenary of the castle class which is a shame..

[@trainsplanes]

That is true! Only one of them has put a proper show on.. 🏰👌👍

[@ronfisher2-railwaytravelvideos]

Wasn't it a grand day out! I went to Oxford and Banbury for the return run and was rewarded at Oxford by a high speed run through the station as they were making up for time lost at an earlier P.W. slack. That footage is on my YT channel, but the footage from Didcot will have to wait until another day...

[@trainsplanes]

Great day out Ron - I’ll take a look at your footage 👍

It's a shame 5051 isn't running, she's my favourite locomotive. I believe today is also the first pairing of two double chimney castles, and also the first pairing of both Castle earls?

[@Hard-Boiled-Bollock]

I hope 5043 keeps its livery, it looks perfect like that

[@46115al]

Cannot help admiring Pendenis Castle (with single chimney) compared to its two 'sisters'........Lets hope that Tnornbury Castle is preserved in its own right

[@bobwilcox1147]

It would be nice if someone remembered to include 7027 Thornbury Castle in one of these shindigs before she gets butchered!
