Peter Kerslake adds: Who would have foreseen back in 1960 when this photograph was taken what future lay ahead for Newton Abbot's 7029, hence its working an express from the Torbay line. Moved to Old Oak Common and then to Gloucester in October 1964 it was the last Castle in active service, later being preserved and initially based at the Birmingham Railway Museum.
