A much missed railway, the Somerset and Dorset was a charismatic mainline that provided an important route over the Mendips between Bath and Bournemouth.
I've recently had these smart looking Prussian Blue locomotives through the weathering studio. The 4F was visiting from Westhaven GWR for a medium use / polished look, whilst 7F, no.88 was sent for an Ex-Works glossy finish.
Having both here at the same time seemed the perfect excuse to kick off a short series on the beloved S&D that played host to a mix of many of my favourite locomotive types. Part 1 is a short introduction and overview of the lines history, and a brief look at no.88 in its preservation era "Prussian Blue" livery.
Archive sound was recorded by Peter Handford and features courtesy of Old Thundridge Records, other real sound recorded on location at the West Somerset Railway and NYMR.
