@alts1985 ahh was at WSR sometime ago but missed the turntable/triangle -- remember going in search of a cash machine :)

nice still camera on these vids -- i like the intercuts with the bees & butterflies -- itd be fun to see some unusual shots of the railway....

[alts1985]

@jagbot They look better forwards thats for sure, it is the problem you get on heritage lines! Unless you go to the WSR when they have their triangle open alongside the Minehead turntable. Forwards one way and backwards the next, I usually just watch the backwards ones or video only. Its all forwards facing engines on my flickr photo site. Thanks for your comment.
