The long awaited return of double headed Castles has finally taken place, with 7029 'Clun Castle' & 5043 'Earl Of Mount Edgecumbe' heading a shareholder special from Birmingham Snow Hill to the Didcot Railway Centre for the Didcot Castle Event which would feature four Great Western Castles on display.
The pairing of two double chimney Castles would be a preservation first, as its never been seen since the glory day's and as I've said above its been, maybe 15+ years since we've last seen double headed Castles. I'm still awaiting info on the last time it happened. In this video we capture the outbound leg through the gloriously preserved Leamington Spa station and then at speed at Bishops Itchington. For the return we've planned to see the pair storm up Hatton Bank, so keep any eye out for that video later on or even tomorrow morning.
I hope you the video.
