Steam rail coach footage fantastic thank you. What a great piece of history preserved. To the restoration team what a fantastic achievement. Well done. It's a joy to see. Steaming and working.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

I quite agree with you!

And those steam railcars kept running well into the 1930s with many of them being converted to GWR 14xx locomotive hauled auto coaches.Nice 1930s livery tender there. Great video thanks.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Thank you.

The steam railcar is fantastic to watch, amazing engineering

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

I wonder why more were not built back then for shorter lines.

[@terrywatson7997]

@@ADMIRALSCORNER That would have been a good idea

[@kellyashfordtrains2642]

I had no idea Sir Lamiel had visited the railway at that time. Of course, this is before Foxcote Manor had a long holiday on West Somerset Metals. I hope Foxy will turn her wheels sometime, I miss her more than you'll ever know.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

I admire your enthusiasm Kelly!

It's a Steam Railmotor not a Railcar. Designed by Churchward. 99 were made in total. It's based at Didcot, just down the road from me.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Oh Thanks for that information. I certainly didn't know so many were produced. I never saw any running in the part of the country where I grew yup.

Good to see the S160 back in action after It’s maintenance

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

I love that loco. Its a shame its reliability was not good on its WSR visit.

[@markjobypaintin5222]

I love that steam coach shame it’s not available in 00 gauge

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]

Yes. I fear its not a widely known about original to stir peoples memories.

My wife and I were there on a Saturday 2017 what a wonderful day. There also was a main line diesel running that day to.

[@ADMIRALSCORNER]
