7029 1958-08 Paignton

On a Kingswear-Exeter local with 41xx behind.

One of Newton Abbot's well maintained stud of " Castles "at this period in time 7029 " Clun Castle " would normally have been rostered to something more demanding than this Kingswear to Exeter local , that Depot's " Castles " working regularly to Bristol and even as far as Shrewsbury on the celebrated " West to North " passenger rosters as well as taking the " Torbay Express " to Paddington , a duty regularly shared on a daily basis between Newton Abbot and Old Oak Common " Castles " .
Who could have foreseen that 7029 would , just seven years later , become the last of hr class in service and be saved from the cutters' torches following withdrawal in 1965 .
