Comments on: What extinct GWR locos should we recreate? http://everythinggwr.com/2012/01/gwr-locos-newbuild/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=gwr-locos-newbuild Celebrating the Great Western Railway from 1835 to now Wed, 11 Feb 2015 23:50:45 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=3.8.41 By: howard http://everythinggwr.com/2012/01/gwr-locos-newbuild/#comment-203 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:45:56 +0000 http://everythinggwr.com/?p=451#comment-203 Talking of locos that could run again but don’t, isn’t it time Pete Waterman did something about 7027 Thornbury Castle. IMO, you just can’t have too many mainline Castles!

But an Aberdare would be nice. It would commemorate the importance of the Welsh coal fields to the GWR. What size boiler did they have?

I’ve always found outside framed locomotives fascinating to watch and the Aberdale particularly so. That said, i would still veto this vote to see Lode Star running again :-)
