A train in the rain. One of D7018 from the archives. "Class 35 'Hymek' no D7018 at Blue Anchor on a very wet 11 June 1993 with the 12 coach 6pm Minehead to Mallaig special." [my pic] #railway #wsr #somerset #mallaig #minehead #hymek #rain

The 'Baggie Twins' - #Bagnall 0-6-0ST nos 2994 'Vulcan' and 2996 'Victor' at #Minehead, #WestSomersetRailway in 1980s. Long gone from the #WSR but still fondly remembered by some ;) Both now elsewhere - #Lakeside and #NorthTyneside - and still working I believe.

If, like me, you cannot be there, next best thing is the Webcam page. Enjoy.

A handy e-guide for the West Somerset Railway traveller. Great for local train or through train alike. In the style of the old GWR guides. Just go to wsr.org.uk/ttw on your smartphone browser. Just look Through the Window. #Minehead #Watchet #Dunster #WSR #Somerset #ThroughTheWindow #Railway

Turns published for the West Somerset Steam Gala today. Really looking forward to getting reacquainted with a Terrier as I'm driving 72 'Fenchurch' on the Saturday. It has been a while, here I am firing 'Martello' at Cholsey in 2008!

The south-facing webcam at Williton is returning to the wsr.org.uk webcams webpage very soon. It will be available from 8am to 6pm, longer during Galas and special days. Thanks to Railcam, WSR plc and others for their kind help. Enjoy. #railcam #westsomersetrailway #williton #ukrailways #somerset

A thumbnail image of another 'double royal' size map-based poster I have created. Very unofficial. Not printed. Not appearing on poster boards. One day, maybe. #WestSomersetRailway #WSR #Somerset
