	Western Locomotive Association D1013 D1062
		The two locomotives owned by the Western Locomotive Association Limited are based on the Severn Valley Railway, which operates over 16 miles of track between Bridgnorth and Kidderminster.
		The Western class are considered to be a historically and technically significant design as they replaced the famous King and Castle class of steam locomotives on the former Great Western Railway in the 1960’s before being replaced in turn by the Inter City 125 High Speed Train.
		As more power is applied by the driver (up to notch 9) on the power controller, the locomotive moves forward gaining speed and the converters within the transmission (2) automatically change (1st to 2nd; 2nd to 3rd), each convertor decreasing in physical size until the 3rd convertor is used.

	GWR 4073 Class - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Castle class locomotives were a group of 4-6-0 steam locomotive of the Great Western Railway.
		A development of the earlier Star Class, one hundred and sixty-five (165) were built, over a 25 year span from August 1923 to August 1950.
		The Castle class was noted for superb performance on the Cheltenham Flyer during the 1930s: on June 6th 1932, pulled by 5006 Treganna Castle, the train covered 77 miles (124 km) from Swindon to Paddington at an average speed of 81.68 miles per hour (131.45 km/h).

	Caerphilly_Castle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Caerphilly Castle is a ruined Norman castle that dominates the centre of the town of Caerphilly in south Wales.
		Built mainly between 1268 and 1271, it is an early example of a concentric castle and is surrounded by large but fairly shallow artificial lakes to slow attackers and prevent the undermining of its walls.
		This removed much of the requirement for the castle, and from then on it was principally used as a base of operations for the de Clares and later the Despensers.

	Great Western Railway Star class
		One difference in North Star compared to the rest of the 'Star'; class was that the footplate was built 2½ inches higher and even when this engine was rebuilt in a 'Castle' class locomotive, the footplate kept the non-standard height.
		In common with all locomotives on the Great Western, all bogie brakes were removed from November 1923, as they found not to be worth the extra complication.
		From 1932, the upper lamp irons were transferred from the front of the chimney to the smokebox door while from 1939, some members of the class received the Grange type of shorter chimney, 1 foot 9 inches high compared to the previous 1 foot 11¾ inches.

	Great Western 'Castle' class steam locomotive 'Windsor Castle' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Sometimes the occasion was a happy one, for example when the locomotives were driven by monarchs themselves, while other occasions were solemn affairs such as a monarch's last journey from lying in state at Westminster and travelling to their burial at Windsor.
		Of the 'Castle' class of locomotives, number 4082 appropriately named "Windsor Castle", was chosen as the Royal engine from the time that it was driven from Swindon works to Swindon station by King George V accompanied by Queen Mary on April 28 1924.
		To keep with tradition, the number of 4082 together with the name of Windsor Castle and the commemorative plaques were transferred to number 7013 Bristol Castle to haul the funeral train.

	Great Western locomotive types
		This class is interesting in that 3440 City of Truro may have been the first British locomotive to reach 100 mile/h and possibly on the strength of this is preserved as part of the NRM Collection.
		Class emerged in 1936, and is probably better known as the 90xx class (renumbered in 1946).
		Locomotives were still being delivered long after the GWR had ceased to exist and there is now an extensive literature on this wasteful manufacture of a defunct locomotive type, namely the 0-6-0 shunting engine.

	Earl of Mount Edgcumbe History - Vintage Trains, Tyseley Locomotive Works

	Builders_1
		When a locomotive was ready for the builder's plates, or a plate in the case of the Class A, the first single or matching pair found would be placed on the locomotive.
		Locomotive porduction increased again during World War II, and the company was recognized for its service to the country in 1942, but soon after the end of the war, demand for steam locomotives dwindled, and H. Porter became primarily a holding company for the many subsidiaries Evans had acquired.
		Locomotives continued to be successfully produced for the world market, although the First World War changed the emphasis of production for the duration of the war to gun shells and mountings, mine sweeping devices, caterpillar tractors and other war items.

	Locomotive Histories
		The locomotive was taken to Woodhams Scrapyard at Barry in South Wales where it languished until 1985 when it was rescued by a member of the Mid Hants Railway albeit minus its tender.
		The locomotive was also repainted in BR lined green, a livery that was first applied when the engine was allocated to Shrewsbury in 1958.
		It was normal practice for a class ‘5’ locomotive, allocated to the Western Region, to wear the green passenger livery instead of the normal lined fl.

	What Model Railway Set Should I Buy
		Hornby's favourite Class 0F locomotive, presented here with an unofficial name, is allocated to marshalling freight as it might have been seen in the closing years of British steam, with freight rolling stock of the period.
		Firstly this set is the locomotive, which has 6 wheels giving you more traction and and 6 wheels (4 wheel on the loco of the two sets above) to pick up the power from the track reducing the possibility of stalling on points.
		Secondly the locomotive that comes with this set is a detailed and accurate model of a popular prototype and not just a made up for the bottom end of the market.

	Facts
		Elizabeth Chadwicks book about the Fitzwarines and Whittington Castle - Lords of the White Castle, was shortlisted for the Parker Romantic Novel of the Year in 2002.
		The name of Whittington and Whittington Castle is derived from the Welsh "Drev Wen" meaning White Town.
		This name is thought to have originated because of the bloom of white flowers which flourished in the marshy area around the Castle.

	Richard Kyte's photographs : Collett Weekend Part 1 : The Elgar Explorer
		I had always wanted a steam tour over my "local" line, preferably behind a Great Western "Castle" class locomotive, and on the 24th August, 2002, I finally got to do it on the "Elgar Explorer".
		I had planned to do the tour in June, but that tour was cancelled due to the failure of the locomotive, and for various reasons, the next available "Castle"-hauled tour was the August one.
		The day started out somewhat badly; a problem in Ledbury tunnel had led to the re-routing of the HST I had planned to take to Oxford, where I would join the tour.
