GWR Castle 5043 'Earl of Mount Edgcumbe' in British Railways Green Livery made its way to Edinburgh today from Tylsley as 1Z22 Tylsley - Edinburgh Vintage Trains Castle to Scotland Tour. Heading north in Glorious Sunshine 5043 with 47760 in tow as back up, was complete with a set of chocolate and cream coaches.

Here is 5043 at Abington

Nice shots. I saw the train at Carlisle. Wonder why they didn't leave the 47 on the back?

Thanks

i heard that 5043 was struggling a bit and that 47760 was doing most of the work
