A Truly Fantastic day at Merehead with plenty to see and do for all the family. From Bus Rides to Quarry tours from Train rides to Driving!
Plenty of Diesel locos were brought down for this spectacular event.

My main focus in this video is the Steam Locomotives working 2,000 Tonne stone Trains!
British Giant, 92203 'Black Prince' is seen double heading, making a spectacular noise with USAs 5197 and it's mind bobbling whistle!
Tysley Based 4936 'Kinlet Hall' also made the trek down and worked a couple of stone trips then onto Passenger trips.
The East Somerset Railway was also in use with 30075 running short trips and Diesel '39' helping with the running around job!
A thoroughly enjoyable day, a HUGE Thankyou goes out to all the staff that put their time and effort into this successful Event.
I will upload a pictorial slideshow when I have the time to make it and decide on music!
