5043 storms through Didcot - The Great Britain V (Day 9) 29-04-12

The final day of the Railway Touring Company's 'The Great Britain V' was to see Tyseley based Castle 5043 Earl of Mount Edgcumbe take control for the run from Bristol to London Paddington.
This run was going to see 5043 take on both Filton and Sapperton banks, with 12 coaches in tow unassisted. This video was supposed to start at Standish Jc, followed by Sapperton and Swindon. However, the weather was awful and we decided to put our safety before 5043. No lack of effort, it was best to play it safe.
Our video is therefore from Didcot Parkway, where 5043 thunders through with a cracking Doppler effect on the whistle.
Thanks to everyone for updating us on the progress, it really helped!

Absolutely fantastic. The smoke as The Earl emerges from the brick bridge is terrific and catching the doppler on the prolonged whistle is amazing. That's Didcot for you. Thanks for the video.

Superb shot James, thanks for braving that horrible weather. Yet another top performance from the Earl

Thanks again Austin, the weather was atrocious and so played safe at Didcot. The Earl never fails to impress, and has become a favourite of mine just by seeing her this weekend.

Their really is something rather special about a steam engine storming through a railway station. Goosebumps time.

Thanks Andy, it was fantastic to stand there and have a Castle thunder through. I remember 70013 passing through on a light engine movement in 2009 with huge whistles between 70013, 5322 and one of the Pannier tanks. Hope this continues!

Thank you, Didcot is a location which I adore, and I would love to visit more often. Sadly, I cannot afford to travel that far every few weeks. I hope there are more opportunities to film GWR steam at Didcot in the near future.

Thanks Andrew, a great memory indeed! Hope you have a good time on the GB6 - I should be out for the first two days, so will hopefully see you around at some stage.

Thank you Brian for your comment. Yes, there were very few around, it got to a point when I thought it had passed through already (quite something considering I arrived 25 minutes before 5043 was due). I think it was down to the rain, I was tempted not to go to be honest, but thought it would be pretty spectacular with the smoke. Good luck with the double header, the weather looks cold but dry. I will look out for your video.

Brilliant shot James, bet your glad I was nowhere around :-) Didcot looked very 'quiet' compared to Exeter on Saturday, looks like you had plenty of space to set up & got a great result!! I need to get up early this Saturday to try for 5043 & 4965 heading to Llandudno but that could also be weather dependent..... fingers crossed!

Brilliant shot there, I was going to see her today but my volunteering work at Pendon Museum said otherwise and so unfortunately I missed her. I'll just have to wait for the next time she's along my patch.

Good to see the Earl going full whack past its sister shed. Ive found all GWR steamers give a prolonged whistle past didcot. Nice to see the comaradery.

Thanks Andy for commenting. Ah that's a shame. Sadly, I can't see that happening for quite a while. VT have quite a few tours up in the north in the future, and have heard little in the way of tours down this way. Hopefully, we can see 5043 again in the near future.
