18th August 2013 The 18th August 2013 was another landmark date for the restoration of SR Bullied Steam Locomotive No. 34046 'Braunton'. The loco was originally built in 1946 at Brighton Works with smooth bodysides, and later redesigned at Eastleigh in 1959 and surviving until 1965 before being sent to the scrap yard. The rusting loco was rescued in 1996 by the West Somerset Railway Association and bought to Williton works where is was later sold to a private individual. Since 1996 the 17 years since have been spent with the single aim of returning the loco to the mainline. On only her second revenue earning mainline trip, No. 34046 'Braunton' is pictured departing from Taunton on 1Z27 09:15 Bristol Templ Meads - Kingswear 'The Torbay Express'. (Photo: Brian Garrett)
