Earl Bathurst’s Castle Class GWR Locomotive
Jack, Age 10
I chose to paint the Castle class locomotive ‘Earl Bathurst’ because my dad has been on the engine and thought my painting might bring back some happy memories for him. It was built in Swindon Works in May 1936 and was originally named ‘Drysllwyn Castle’ but was renamed in August 1937 to the current name ‘Earl Bathurst’. The painting took me a total of 2 days and I used acrylic paint.
