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.

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.

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.
