A great set of images Rosalyn as you say it would have been nice if the engine had been facing the right way. Your little playmate won't be happy that you went without her !!! I must go to the Great Central Railway I've not been for years and it's only a few miles away

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Peter Castell club
Thanks Peter. Yes a bit disappointing that it was the wrong way round. My playmate is back at school, but I was with my niece who brought her lovely dog :-))

Glorious !

(Did you go to the Castle and the Yarn Market and just down the road to Watchet ?)

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Pam J club
Thank you Pam.

I walked around the Castle gardens but not inside. I have done that many times before, but we did have a lovely walk around the village and then to the working mill, where I bought a pack of freshly milled porridge oats....and they are very nice!

Hi Rosa

Really nice pictures, and probably the best you could get being faced with a 'tender first' working!
I visited this railway a couple of times in years gone by, and have some photos of this locomotive (but not on ipernity).
She has a sister www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/43928914 and her www.ipernity.com/doc/2247998/45464012

Best Wishes, and a good weekend.

Thank you very much Steve. I was not very pleased with my pic's on this day. I didn't notice that I had a smear on the lens and had accidentally altered the setting....I must learn to check!!

Ohhhh, love this moment Rosa... In the Netherlands we don't have such trains in operation (ids the the right word?) Only for the fun in some places from a to b in summertime... I went last year and loved it...
