Helen Anson, the Trust Learning Officer is making excellent progress in developing the Learning Offer about the Gauge Museum and related WSR Heritage for schools, community groups and other stakeholders. Helen will be preparing to visit schools and other settings shortly and details will be available on the website and through the Trust Newsletter when finalised. She has also made links with Catherine Dance, the new Association/PLC Community Engagement Officer and there is emerging evidence of opportunities for joint working and complementary activities between both projects.
Rail200: All Aboard for Young Engineers Day with Seth
March 17, 2025
Rail200 Celebrations: Meet Seth - who is going to the Young Engineers Day
My name is Seth, I am 7 years old and am very excited about the “Young Engineers Day” on the West Somerset Railway. I am glad my Mummy and Daddy reserved a space early for me because both days are now sold out and I love trains.
I have two favourite locomotives on the WSR, they are 9351 the Mogul and 7822, Foxcote Manor, and I would like to be a train driver one day.
I am also looking forward to meeting Mr. Chris Vine as I have some of the Peters Railways books, I bought one from the WSRHT and I had 3 for Christmas from Grandma. My favourite story is “The Surprise Goods”.
I couldn’t choose which thing I was looking forward to most of all, the signal box visit, the train ride to Minehead, visiting the Engine Shed or watching and learning about the Turntable? So, I ask my Mummy and she said “put all of them”!
I will tell you all about the day when I get back, but I am really looking forward to it.
Seth, aged-seven.
