Thorney and Kingsbury Halt
John Cornelius

82008 leaves Thorney for Yeovil on the 7th February 1962 Copyright John Cornelius. N.B. The halt with its shelter can clearly be seen beyond the bridge. By the rodding the Milk Factory siding point was clearly operated from the North Ground frame. Steam heating of the train was necessary at this time of the year as is evidenced by the 'emissions' along the train.

​A note on nameplates at Thorney from Chris Osment

 Just to be pedantic...:-)
 According to Dunn’s book on GWR SB nameplates, the order for those GFs specified “Thorney Halt North Ground Frame” and the ‘...Halt South....’ equivalent. A GWR WTT Appendix has various references to ‘Thorney Halt Siding’.
 regards .Chris.  With the best will in the world I try to get it right but it is very handy to have an expert in the wings to prompt me. Many thanks Chris.

The mighty Kings were often aided over the Devon banks and below is a typical example of steam at work.  

Here we see 5064 piloting 6022 on the 23rd May 1957. 5064 was built in June 1937 as Tretower Castle, its name was quickly changed in September 1937 to Bishops Castle. The loco was withdrawn in January 1963. 6022 King Edward 111 was built in 1930 and withdrawn on 30th September 1962 and was cut a year later.
