JANUARY 2020 VIDEO FROM BATH GREEN PARK

SOMERSET & DORSET RAILWAY in 7mm   This months video from Bath Green Park shows a wide selection of freight and passenger movements that would have been seen in the late 50's and 60's up to closure. In particular I've been investigating milk movements north of Bath. We are all familiar with the milk tanker traffic from Bason Bridge, Wincanton and Bailey Gate that was run to Templecombe for rapid movement to London but I've recently been aware of tanker movements from Bailey Gate wh

The Somerset & Dorset Railway in 7mm

During the week they were to be seen on the many daily Bath – Evercreech – Bath freights and on Summer Saturdays could be seen helping out due to rostered engine failures. We see the SO 07.43 Birmingham - Bournemouth West depart Bath at 10.32 behind S&D 7F 53807 on Bath duty 11 and S&D 4F 44560 on Bath Duty 33. Very occasionally one could witness the most unusual sight of a pair of S
