    Yes. Again thanks for the detailed explanation Bob. Please don't forget that Castle 5043 still has some unfinished business in Bristol. It will be wonderful to see the Castle charging through Bath and sat proudly under the canopy at Bristol Temple Meads with the 'Bristolian' headboard above its smokebox. <BJ>

    At the end of a long day working on the SVR it was lovely to see 2 beautiful castles storming through Kidderminster with the whistles going like crazy. A lovely sight and the first time i had seen 5043. My Photo taken in the SVR yard by the signal box.

    It looked like a brilliant day. 5043 & 5029 really were flying up Llanvihangel and Old Hill. Looking forward to 5043 over Shap.
