GWR 5044 Earl of Dunraven Castle Class 4-6-0 GWR Lined Green. 5044 was completed in March 1936, named Beverston Castle and sent new to London Old Oak Common shed. The introduction of the'Earl' class, better known as the Dukedog was not without incident, a number of the gentry being rather put-out at their titles appearing on rather antique looking engines, so Earl names were transferred to Castle class engines, Beverston Castle being renamed Earl of Dunraven in September 1937. 5044 remained an Old Oak engine for most of its career, moving to Cardiff Canton (a shed noted for the superb condition of its engines) before being withdrawn in April 1962.

The GWR Castles were a true landmark locomotive, among the most powerful and efficient locomotives in Britain during the 1920s and incorporating the full development of G J Churchwards' engineering vision. Both the LMS and Southern built express passenger engines based on Castle specifications, while Gresley pacifics were re-designed to incorporate the findings of comparative trials. Equally at home on express passenger or fast milk and goods trains 171 locomotives were built between 1923 and 1950, serving until the end of steam on the Western.
