A regular combination
A scene taken on Gloucester Horton Road shed (85B) in November 1965 shows the old and the new order with Castle Class No.7029 "Clun Castle" alongside a Brush Type 4 No.D1721. I would not have imagined that nearly 57 years later that this combination of locomotives would still be working on the mainline. 7029 now owned by Vintage Trains of Tyseley regularly hauls charter trains (topping and tailing) with Brush Type 4 D1755. D1721 was not so lucky being scrapped in October 1990.
