Minehead West Somerset Railway

Here a few older shots as yet unpublished
 
 
GWR Small Prairie 5553

 
5553 with GRW 6960 behind

 
There was discussion amongst observers about the
apparent Wiggle in the platform edge. Many varied
explanations were given till I told them it was to
allow clearance for the cylinders when locos run
round ad when swinging diagonally on to the
reverse line the cylinders are wider than the
normal loading gauge width

 
There is always lots to see at Minhead
