Poetry (and other things) in motion! A selection of videos of the Bath & West Railway and other matters of possible interest, c/o YouTube. It would be excellent to have more of ESSMEE's doings at the Showground so, if you have any, put it on YouTube and let me know. Click on the image to run the video. |

2. Part 2 of the video taken at the 2010 Royal Bath & West Show. | ||
3. A visitor to the 2010 Royal Bath & West Show took these fine shots of the B&WR. Many thanks! | ||
4. Testing the sound system on Norman Yorke's new 7.25" gauge Class 66. What a racket! | ||
5. Driver's view of the B&WR from the 'cab' of a Class 66. | ||
6. Now this surprised me: the B&WR is laid not just to 5" and 7.25", but apparently 45mm as well! | ||
7. The East Somerset Railway's 'Tinkerbell'-type loco visited during the Open Weekend, making an interesting companion to the B&WR's resident tinkerbells 'Ladybird' and 'Sara'. | ||
8. HRH Prince Charles visits the B&WR during the Royal Bath & West Show, 2009, a great honour for ESSMEE. Chairman George White greets HRH and the royal party, shows them around ESSMEE HQ before boarding a train for a tour of the B&WR. | ||
9. A visitor to the 2009 Royal Bath & West Show took these shots of the traction and agricultural engines as well as a fine bit on the B&WR. Many thanks! | ||
10. Driver training on the Bath & West Railway, April 2007. 'Ladybird' and three sit-astride carriages set off from the station, round the club house, over the skew bridge and down towards the lake. A brisk run along by the trees and the train returns safely to base. | ||
11. Another full tour of the B&WR with Tinkerbell 'Sara' on a club running day. 'Sara' makes easy work of the light train and the run is a leisurely trip. | ||
12. Part 1 of a video record of the 2009 autumn Open Weekend | ||
