southwellpeter Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 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!

johnb Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 You could always use Rule 1. It's your layout and you could run anything you like! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 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.
