Taken during the line's Diesel Gala. Although it looks more of an Edwardian design, the class dates from the 1930s, and combined parts from "Duke" and "Bulldog" class locomotives (hence the class name). Although originally allocated the name "Earl of Berkeley", this name was transferred to a "Castle" class locomotive, and it only regained it in 1963, when the "Castle" was withdrawn.
