Video footage taken at a re-enactment of scenes typical of a GWR loco shed in the 1950s and organised by Neil Cave of TimeLine Events. Number 6023 'King Edward II' in striking early British Railways blue livery is the star of the show at Didcot MPD and is seen in action around the shed yard and also on the turntable. 1466, 5322 and 3738 also feature. Thanks to Neil and the railway staff for running this event on what turned out to be a very warm day/evening.
