    I noticed that the picture of 5572 at Didcot has it standing alongside extinct Castle Class "5069", does anyone know what was going on there?

    I think 5051 was renamed for a special occasion, I can't remember which, several years ago.

    5069 was named Isambard Kingdom Brunel so its probably a particular anniversary - 2006 was Brunel 200 with a number of events to celebrate 200 years since his birth?

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    This is definitely on the broad gauge demonstration line at Didcot, as Frome Mineral Junction Box is missing (sould be beside the bracket signal in the background) I suspect it is quite a long time ago. (unless it is hiding behind the engine!! :lol:)
    This can only be at Didcot I think as the engine hasn't visited anywhere else.... yet! Will be interesting if it ever does leave the Didcot site.
