Another rapidly developing railway close to the S&D is the Bath and West Railway, at the showground near Prestleigh. This has been created over the last few years by a small team from ESSMEE (East Somerset Society of Model and Experimental Engineers). The line runs during several shows each year, and will in fact be operating today between 4 and 6.30pm. This is an overall view of the workshops.
This is the cute signalbox, rebuilt from an old customs building!
This is the attractive run alongside an avenue of trees and a stream.
Work has already started on preparing the groundworks for the extension along the other side of the stream and back to the station and workshop area. When completed the line will be over a half mile long. It is mixed 7 1/4" and 5" gauge.
