22nd April marked the 25th anniversary of the first train to run on the GWR - a single carriage hauled by diminutive tank locomotive Cadbury No. 1. But where is the engine now? Well, shortly it will be returning to the GWR for the 25th Anniversary Festival of Steam (23-26 May) when it will be on static display, repainted in its distinctive red-brown livery with gold leaf graphics on the tank sides. For the story of this lovely little locomotive and its first operating days on the GWR, visit our latest History Lesson here!
