Arguably the highlight of the West Somerset Railway Spring Gala would see three preserved Great Western Manors link up for a triple headed run to Minehead. I'm led to believe that this is the second time in preservation three manors have been together on one train. The Manors chosen were 7802 Bradley Manor, 7812 Erlestoke Manor and finally 7828 Odney Manor. As you can see and hear the weather was awful. This unfortunately caused a few problems with the sound as the audio on the 3rd clip was slightly muted to a wet microphone, thankfully the final scene captures the trio sounding superb on the climb out of Watchet.
I hope you enjoy this little preview of the gala with more action to shown next week.
