GWR Castles on the Great Central Route?


Recommended Posts

I know that South Coast to the North East trains via the Great Central used to see GWR Halls as far as Leicester and sometimes Nottingham but does anyone know of Castles using this route please?  I'm modelling the GC in Northamptonshire and have an old Hornby Castle purchased in 1961 which I would like to use for nostalgic reasons but cannot find any photos of them on this route!

I have a feeling Castles and other GWR four cylinder locomotives were banned apart from the southern end due to gauging issues.

 

Halls and Granges were fine although they weren't meant to work through to Huddersfield, where 6858 Woolston Grange hit the platform at Berry Brow station.
