DIESEL AT BLUE ANCHOR AND BETTON GRANGE AT MINEHEAD WSR 6 JULY 2024
It has been a very windy day so there is wind noise at Minehead Station and people noise on the crowded train! However there is plenty of interesting shunting by the visiting GWR 6880 steam locomotive and a view of the other visiting but presently static saddle tank steam locomotive at Minehead. Other locos are also seen with another train arriving..

Thank you Terry.
I must thank and congratulate you on your video, especially the coverage of Betton Grange, absolutely at home on the WSR tracks. It's 70+ years since I have seen a Grange! God bless you, Sir!

Many thanks Graham, it was good to get there in time to see it come to life!
Oh that wind was just too much on a Summer’s day- can you imagine it blowing in Winter - it would just knock the stuffing out of you! Some people dressed for Winter - saw a woman in just a dress at Watchet !!! Anyway good to see the trains doing well and packed- I hope this continues! Lovely flowers at the stations- a credit to the volunteer gardeners. Thanks Admiral.
Another great video Mike. We both enjoyed it very much😊

And being noisy about it!
Betton Grange is borrowing Foxcote Manor's tender till Foxy herself comes out of Tyseley Shed. So basically, you've got half of Betton Grange and half of Foxcote Manor together. Bet that will put a smile on your face. Apart from the diesel, this is what I love to see on my birthday. The weather has been a constant on and off mix of sunshine and rain at my end.
