I'd love it if this could come down to the westcountry and not just do excursions up north. Back when steam engines were at their height, King & Castle class loco's were the most common class's on the GWR routes

It would also give me chance to prove to my younger cousin there is really a train that gets pulled called the 'Hogwarts Express' its not just from the Harry Potter movies!!

@whitewingsrich Many thanks for you comment. If they were to put this on the Cornish Scot I'd be first to book a ticket. I love the Penzance run.

how often does it do that

I know this would be unlikely but I would love to see this beautiful steam loco come to the Monticello Railway Museum in the United States where I work in the summer. and see the Olton Hall with our Southern 401 steam loco.

@kirbyfan600 The 37 supplies steam heating to the train and is usually on the really, from the looks of it, they turned Olton hall and didn't worry about the 37 being moved to the other end.
