SUMMER VISIT 2010 Members spent a pleasant 5 hours at the Yeovil Railway Centre on July 18th. The Centre was celebrating the 150 years since its opening in 1860 with an Open Weekend.
Trade stands were selling railway memorabilia and there were model railway layouts from N to 0 scale as well as an outdoor ride-on. Full size train rides were laid on in a heritage passenger carriage pulled by the 130 ton 6024 King Edward 1. A steam Dreams excursion visited, pulled by the Class 50 diesel 30777 Sir Lamiel.
A fuller account of the visit will appear in the Society’s Search Report, due out in September, and photos will be shown at the Members Evening in November.
