Double-headed steam power and visiting tanks at Williton!
Enjoy the brilliant atmosphere at Williton Station on the West Somerset Railway during a crisp, sunny morning at the 2026 WSR Autumn Steam Gala.
In this video, we watch WSR Mogul No. 9531 arrive on a service from Minehead, where it meets a spectacular double-headed train arriving from Bishops Lydeard featuring two special gala visitors:
🚂 LNWR Webb 17-Inch Coal Tank No. 1054
🚂 BR Ivatt Class 2MT Tank No. 41313
Stick around to watch the spirited departure of 9531 as it opens up the regulator and continues its journey south towards Bishops Lydeard!
Did you know? The LNWR 'Coal Tank' No. 1054 is the sole surviving member of Francis Webb’s famous 17-inch 0-6-2 tank class built at Crewe Works in 1888. Designed primarily for heavy mineral and goods traffic, these rugged engines eventually found work all across the LMS network. Paired here with the modern BR Ivatt Class 2MT 2-6-0T No. 41313 (a design introduced by George Ivatt in 1946), Williton Station temporarily turned into a living museum showcasing over 50 years of British tank engine evolution!
