The handsome "Castle" class 4-6-0's were second only to the much larger "King" class in terms of passenger power. Developed by Collett from the "Star" class, they came into traffic from 1923 onwards and the last examples were built by BR.
Seen above is No. 5029 Nunney Castle.
In their later years many of the class had double chimneys fitted, as seen on the loco above - No. 5043 "Earl of Mount Edgcumbe".
This Castle is starting to disappear into the undergrowth by 1968.
