    Not sure that it can be done David. Seem to remember this question before to the mods on other threads. Just leaves us with incorrect title when late change of engine is made. Any ideas would be welcome though and I'll happily amend. Pete

    Anyone know why the engine change? Since, I presume, Olly must go to Minehead for turning why not simply leave it on the front, double headed if required.

    The tour loco can turn on the Norton triangle and service at Bishops Lydeard.
    I'm sure that the punters wouldn't mind a change of loco over the WSR. <BJ>

    Yes I am an active volunteer
    Still it can be turned and serviced at Minehead and has a couple of hours to do so. But maybe they don't want that to happen in such a public place.

    Gant's Mills, near Castle Cary 1 minite early, BTW,

    Here's my video of her passing Sonning fairly quietly, then making a good noisy departure from Newbury. You could hear her storming away for about 2 miles!

    Loverly sight & sound pulling away from Theale tonight just after 10pm.
    No security guards this time!!
    Note to WCRC, the last two coaches were in total darkness including the brake, despite the various discussions on coaching stock.
