'Cromptons' on the West Somerset Railway, 30th - 31st August 2025

While the reason for visiting was the 'Hymek 50' event, there are also a couple of very presentable Class 33s.


D6566 (33048) arriving at Minehead on the showery afternoon of 30th August.  Headcode 'KA' was inspired.


D6566 running around at Minehead.


D6575 (33057) was assigned as 'Thunderbird' at Minehead, but thankfully saw no use in this role. Seen in a moment of sunshine, 30th August.


D6566 at Williton with a train for Minehead, 31st August.


Later, again at Williton, with the return working of the same train.


Arriving at Watchet with another working to Minehead.
