At the start of the day 7820 was waiting in Bishops
Lydeard station with the Santa Special to Crowcombe Heathfield. You
can just see the crew were in the spirit of things with their headgear!

The Santa's carry a headboard and class A lamps as seen
here on 7820 Dinmore Manor waiting for the off.

Auto
trailer 178 and small prairie 5542 went to Norton Fitzwarren and then
followed Dinmore up to Crowcombe Heathfield where they are seen side
by side.

5542's crew for the day, not a very taxing job with just
the one coach, they could enjoy watching everyone getting freezing cold
taking photos from their comfortably warm footplate.

5542 simmering in the wintery sunshine at Crowcombe.

Later in the day she was again simmering in partial sun at
Minehead.

Visiting small prairie, Pete Waterman's 5553 was spare at
Minehead and was suitably decorated for the season.

A photo stop on the way back at Donniford Halt.
