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
