  The West Somerset Railway is Britain's longest Heritage Railway and probably the most scenic; it is worked by a variety of preserved steam and diesel locomotives.  I am a volunteer on the West Somerset, due to this involvement there several pages of photos of the West Somerset, which will be added to frequently, so if you like what you see, come back again for more !!
