Class 4965 'Rood Ashton Hall' and Castle Class 5043 'Earl of
Mount Edgcumbe' hauling the 'Great Western Incursion'
at Didcot Parkway
on 20th February 2010. It is gratifying to be able to announce that the filmed version of the
dramatic departure of these locomotives from Didcot can now be watched in
full on YouTube at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HFqZN6yKg0Q .
- It should be noted that preserved locomotives undergo significant periods of inactivity for maintenance and the appearance of photographs of any particular example on these pages does not necessarily mean that it is currently operational. Newly restored locomotives may be used as replacements, locations or ownerships may change and if a locomotive undergoes a heavy overhaul it may be out of action for several years. This process is immensely expensive and labour-intensive and preserved railways always require significant financial assistance from visitors and benefactors, so any contributions towards the uptake of these marvellous machines will always be welcomed by their owners.
