    A 62-year-old steam engine which was rescued from a scrap yard has been restored and will take to the rails again in Somerset.
    The locomotive was built in 1946 but spent 22 years in the scrap yard in south Wales until her rescue in 1996.
    The engine, named "Braunton", was bought by enthusiast Jeremy Hosking who paid for the six figure restoration.
