Stunning GWR Castle on the mainline video

Post by Rlangham »

One of the best railway videos i've seen.... fantastic! Would have loved to have been the camera man, must have been torture for the driver though

That's a great video. Driver had it easy just open it and sit back. Fireman had it tough, can see him in the cab hard at it. It still amazes me how fast the coupling rods go round when at speed.
