The Severn Valley Railway has revealed the name of the show-stopping guest locomotive that it has secured for its Spring Steam Gala.
The iconic 4079 ‘Pendennis Castle’ will be headlining the heritage railway’s Great Western Railway-themed celebration between April 14 and 16.
In 1925, it took part in trials against Sir Nigel Gresley’s new Pacifics, including 4472 ‘Flying Scotsman’. ‘Pendennis’ claimed all the glory, out-performing its larger competitors very convincingly. “We are thrilled to be hosting a named engine with the prestige of ‘Pendennis Castle’,” said Duncan Ballard, the SVR’s head of steam engineering.
