12th August 2023 - LMS Jubilee no. 45596 Bahamas heading the Railway Touring Company's West Somerset Express from Paddington to Minehead stopped at Frome to take on water. The title picture shows Richard, who had travelled down from Barnsley with 14,000 litres of water, filling Bahamas' tender with half that load. He will then live the high life in Frome waiting for the train's return whereupon the remaining 7,000 lites will be 'uploaded'.
The fully-loaded tanker awaits the arrival of the West Somerset Express
