The Nunney Castle is a Great Western Railway Castle Class steam locomotive and was built at the Swindon Works in 1934. It was used in many publicity photographs and was used, at the beginning of WW11 to haul trains bringing evacuated children from London to safety in the countryside. It was also used to haul the Royal Train from London to Gloucester. Many Nunney locals will remember using it to travel from Frome to Paddington in the 50’s. It has sometimes been used recently to travel from Bath to Weymouth.
