With 22 miles of track, the West Somerset Railway is the longest in British preservation. From Minehead Bay, this line winds up between the Brendon and Quantock Hills, serving ten beautifully restored stations, each with its own unique character. The programme explores the many attractions which are found along the way, including the Exmoor National Park, local villages, Dunster Castle, Cleeve Abbey, Coombe Sydenham country park, animal centres and cruises by motorship. With the Mayday steam gala, and the August Steam Fayre there is also plenty of action up and down the line; a Somerset and Dorset 2 - 8 - 0, Great Western 2 - 6 - 2 Tanks, a Peckett Industrial Saddle Tank, a ''Hymek'' and a ''Teddy Bear'', two restored DMU's, and visiting ten wheelers ''Bradley Manor'' and a BR 4MT. - Studio:
