What a absolutely beautiful engine, back in my trainspotting days back in the 50s this engine was shedded at 81A Old Oak Common, I am a pensioner living now in Australia and I know for sure if I ever win the big one in lotto, there will be big money going to the maintainenance and upkeep of this loco, and congratulations to the owners of this splendid loco.

Grand achievements are often marked by low key events. How apt that the English weather joined in!! I hope all concerned with this accomplishment had the party they so thoroughly deserved in this preservation of "the cream of steam".

Remember travelling behind this awesome beast on a railtour some years ago the sound of it as it struggled up Crockett bank on leaving Swansea was amazing it nearly stalled on the wet rails but managed to get it's footing it was a wreck at Barry scrapyard but looks awesome now this loco has a special connection with south Wales thanks to Mr dai woodham

Got an old Hornby model of 6024. A pleasant surprise as I never realised until today she still existed and a runner!

Longshanks? When it was running charters out of Paddington, it was affectionately known as Spud 1...!

@@martinbradshaw7877 The GWR used a route availability system based on a colour circle painted onto the cab - the colours used for the system included Blue, Yellow, and Red, in ascending order of weight. The Kings were in a class of their own, Double Red, and were originally restricted to a small number of GWR routes from Paddington. These included the routes Birmingham via Princes Risborough and Bicester, Bristol via Bath/Bristol Parkway, and Exeter via Newbury and Westbury.

@@TheOneKEA I know all of this. My point was the WSR. They have weight restrictions that prevented Raveningham Hall from being used. I do know all about route availability. I think you misunderstood my point
