This is the first of a two-day Header to York and steam locomotives. I hope to see 70000 'Britannia; on the 28th. But today, the steam loco is 4-6-0, Castle Class, 7029 'Clun Castle'.

It's rare to see 4-6-0 Clun Castle in this part of the country. So there is no excuse, this is a 'must-do' visit to see this fine steam loco. Built in 1950 and designed by Charles Collett for the Great Western Region and named after the 11th centuary castle on the welsh boarder.
The above photo that I took at York, doesn't do it justice.
Based at Tyseley Locomotive Works, Clun Castle made its first mainline tour in 2019 after 31 years.
So here are a few more....
