Rebuilt West Country Pacific 34046 'Braunton'

Minehead station 


Bullied West Country Pacific Braunton


Of course the problem with the rebuild of this
class was that the Walschaerts valve gear added 
approx 5 ton's to the engine baring it from a 
number of light loaded routes in the West 
Country where they were specifically 
built to serve


Nevertheless a magnificent engine fully at home
here on the West Somerset even though a rival
company to the GWR
