God's Wonderful Railway

Probably..............the best railway in the world. On 7 April 2006 GWR locomotives 4936 - Kinlet Hall and 5029 - Nunney Castle take the "Double Duchy" out of Plymouth heading to Birmingham.

Yeah - the Merchant Navy's, the Westcountry's and the BofB's didn't need re-building and the Leader led from the front!

Have a look at South African Steam - Nigel Gresley commented on the 19D Class saying that it was one of the finest steam designs he had ever seen - and that is saying something coming from Nigel Gresley!

i attend the eye hospital, which is behind where the video was taken. A nurse told me the best view was from the ladies toilet on the third floor. Needless to say I didnt gain admittance to it

GWR also known as Great Way Round

Thats the first Ive heard it referred to as that.

Great Western Railway is the proper name.

God's Wonderful Railway was just a fun name adopted by GWR fans.

As jonny7railways says, the initial shots scared the xxxx out of me - and I had the volume on at around 3 out of 10!!! Soot and egg sandwiches - nouvelle cuisine for rail buffs...

That locomotive design on Halls, Castles, Kings, arguably the best in the world
