I enjoy thinking time in my job - someone poses a question, I have to work out why my answer is right. Dual screens and remote desktops help too - working from home with everyone else either out or in bed can be lonely so it's nice having background noise that isn't always electronic dance music. Its the WSR, Dawlish Cam or Puffins in the Shetlands. Anyway, they made it safely to Minehead 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steamport Southport Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I think it's safe to say if you were going to take pictures when it's quiet then go on the Thursday. A lot more packed today and will probably get more so over the weekend. Jason Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not from Butlins, they are the remnants of the Peak Army summoned by the rasp of Sulzer engine exhaust pipes. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 (edited) Is this more webcam issues at Williton - first the other camera had to be taken out of public view due to complaints and there appears to be a big rectangle on the other view now? This was an older view, its a field, maybe they are hiding the logo for some reason? Edited June 27, 2019 by woodenhead Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steamport Southport Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 That's where the WSR logo normally is. Just a random photo from the other day which I didn't post due to pixilation. Jason 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianusa Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 The WSR seems to be going through a bit of a struggle these days what with track renewals and the inability to host heavy engines, especially after just going through a not very successful winter due to one thing and another. It is admirable that they have rallied but it will be a hard task to raise the amount required to upgrade the track. Diesels are definitely a must for those who like them but steam, especially to families and the public in general, is the great appeal on these railways. Same with tank engines, all very nice but big engines with tenders bring in the largest crowds even if they are tender first! Preserved railways are usually a long way from their passengers and there has to be a good reason to travel a great distance when there may be another one much closer. Whilst not any fault of the railway, hopefully the Williton camera will soon be fixed as the aforementioned pixilating is a bit irksome as is the time it has taken to fix the one at Crowcombe Heathfield.
