Good afternoon.
Just been trawling around looking for any more info on the Bridgwater Railway when I came upon your website. 
Anyway, just wanted to let you know about my book & website, all about this railway, the branch line from Bridgwater to Edington Junction. Hope you might be interested in adding a link or something as I'm sure some of your members might find some of the info interesting.

Bournemouth West

Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway 'A' class 4-4-0 No. 67 of 1896 vintage is depicted here awaiting departure from Bournemouth West. This shot has given me enormous pleasure and one hopes that you enjoy it as much as I. As I have little knowledge of the pre-Fowler era on the S&D it came as a surprise to see that the loco's number is in the form of cast figures attached to the rear splasher rather than the cab side sheeting. The livery is a joy to see and the rolling stock also. Additional background : This image is dated between 1910-1913 and shows No.67 with the 4.05pm semi-fast service to Bath." Reboilered in December 1907 with the “H” class boiler No.67 was unique in having its safety valve encased. No.67 awaits departure from platform 3 whilst No.15 occupies platform 4. Note, in 1935 platform numbers 1-6 were reversed. Behind the tender is a 16ft Midland horsebox to diagram D397 followed by an S&DJR set comprising brake third, a pair of lavatory composites with luggage ends and another brake third whilst, at the rear, is a six-wheel Midland passenger brake van to diagram D529.
