GWR 4073 Class No. 5029 "Nunney Castle"

Great Western Railway No. 5029, named Nunney Castle, is a 4-6-0 steam locomotive built by the Great Western's Swindon Works in 1934 as one of its 4073 or Castle Class locomotives. It was allocated initially to Old Oak Common, London, and then moved to such places as Newton Abbott, Plymouth Laira and Cardiff before being taken out of service in December 1963.
In 1964, it was sold to Woodham Brothers Scrapyard, where it remained until 1976, when it was rescued and brought to the Didcot Railway Centre to undergo restoration. It returned to steam in 1990 and started operating on the main line.
After another overhaul which saw the addition of air brake equipment and changes to its tender to increase water capacity, it returned to steam in 2008. After its boiler ticket expired in 2017, it went to Crewe for repairs to its boiler, with a completion date which is unknown.
