The Didcot Railway Centre hosted a Four Castle Event on 4th March 2023 to celebrate 100 years since the inception of the GWR Castle Class Locomotive designed by Charles Collett. In this line up of loco's set up by the centre for photographers are from the left No. 4079 'Pendennis Castle' No. 5043 'Earl of Mount Edgcumbe' No. 5051 'Drysllwyn Castle' and No. 7029 'Clun Castle'. All the loco's with the exception of No. 5051 are in steam. Nos. 5043 and 7029 had earlier arrived at Didcot with a private charter from Birmingham.
