    It is excellent fun, and more hands always welcome. Job satisfaction guaranteed. No special skills required. You just have to hate brambles....

    I'm writing a book about the Railway and living at Station House, Stogumber, called 'Lonely in November'. So I know how you feel....:(:)

    As others have said, it was an excellent gala. The S&D really was evoked by some of the loco combinations. 4F and Bulleid, 7F and Bulleid and of course 7F+7F. First time I think, that they have been together in matching BR liveries.
    One odd thing I observed, was how very few people seemed to notice the S&D nameboards. All photos I have seen are of just the engines. So, here is one of Bournemouth West plus a loco.

    Hello,
    I obviously missed my free Rose Tinted eye protection on the day I visited the WSR S&D Gala.

    I got one with templecombe sign and 34070 in shot. Just wish I'd had thought about doing the same with 34098 but sadly wasn't running on the Sunday.

    Don't just think - do it! At the end of the event, even if you decide it's not for you, you will have had a good free day out on the railway! But I warn you, it can be addictive:)

    Get yourself up to the Severn Valley - I am! After all that delightful S&D stuff last weekend I need my fix of GWR engines.

    Don't worry just come back to the WSR when the 2 Halls and Manor are running as normal to get your GWR fix. Of course we will now retain the S&D flavor with a 7F or two and the 4F. Also I have it on good authority that work is going to be stepped up on 9351 now that 53808 is finished so we will hopefully be adding a Mogul to the fleet as time allows. Then of course you can always 'blag' a quick visit into the workshop and see a King being rebuilt next to the Mogul. Its nearly like Swindon only a bit smaller!!!!

    If anyone wants an antidote to the S&D withdrawal symptoms, can I suggest a good read, 'Footplate over the Mendips ' by Peter Smith. Probably out of print now, but you will probably get it online.
