7029 'Clun Castle' Thunders Up To Edge Hill On The Mersey Explorer + LMS Bonus !

Great Western Castle Class 7029 'Clun Castle' makes for an impressive sight as it thunders up the famous railway cutting from Liverpool Lime Street to Edge Hill on the return leg of the Mersey Explorer to Birmingham. This location had been on the bucket list for many year's and it was well worth the wait to hear the sound of steam echoing of the cutting walls. After the dramatic climb to Edge Hill we attempted to chase the train back home and given that it was booked non stop to Wolverhampton this would present a challenge. Thankfully we had brisk exit out of Liverpool and the motorways were quiet and this enabled us to get to get to Penkridge station just a mere 10 minutes before the Castle came racing through towards Wolverhampton. What a great way to finish off ! Prior to the earlier exploits of 7029 at the start of the video our actual first sighting of steam was LMS 46115 Scots Guardsman, which was hauling the Coast to Express from Liverpool to Scarborough. A new location for us would see us head to the city Sheffield where we see the Royal Scot class steaming along nicely on approach to Meadowhall, while it was a mundane passage it made for the unusual capture of the locomotive rocking and rolling over the Junction with the tender swaying over the points. While this does happen regularly, its not often captured on camera in such detail. I hope you enjoy the sight sound of sound of a hard working Castle class up to Edge Hill.
