Description
GWR 4073 Class 5029 Nunney Castle is a Great Western Railway Castle Class steam locomotive, which was built at Swindon Works, leaving on the 28th May 1934. The name Nunney Castle is derived from the castle near Frome, Somerset.
The steam locomotive was used in many publicity and "life on the railway" type of photographs and during the World War II Evacuations the locomotive hauled trains carrying children being taken from London to the safety of the countryside.
Nunney Castle was also used to haul the Royal Train in October 1957 from London Paddington station to Gloucester.
