GWR Route: Banbury to Wolverhampton
Budbrook and Warwick Cold Store: gwrw1463
GWR 4-6-0 Castle class No 5081 'Lockheed Hudson' is seen
passing Budbrook on Paddington to Shrewsbury express in September 1941. This is
one of a number of wartime photographs taken around the region by VR Webster a
collection now in the care of the Kidderminster Railway Museum. Built at
Swindon works as No 5081 'Penrice Castle' in May 1939 it was renamed in January
1941, one of a number of locomotives named in response to the need to help
raise the moral of the country, and remained as such until October 1963 when it
was withdrawn from Cardiff East Dock shed to be scrapped during June 1964 by R
Hayes of Bridgend.
