No.5054 'Earl of Ducie'
A special train carrying headcode '1X68' waits at Hereford on 12th July 1964 for the return of a tour party after a shed visit. No.5054 'Earl of Ducie' is attached to a straight sided tender and is in immaculate external condition as were many Worcester 'Castles' during their final months of operation. The 'Earl' was regularly in use on railtours in the spring of 1964.
A photograph of No.5054 taken by Pete Wilcox can be found here and there is a colour photograph by Chris Wilkinson here.
