Warehouse Wednesday: West Somerset water towers

 

Last week, I showed a water tower on the East Somerset Railway, and since by chance, I was at the West Somerset Railway this week, here's a shot of the water tower and crane at Bishops Lydeard station. 

I think I've shown this structure before, so here's an interesting extra shot showing how the drivers have marked the ground to ensure they line their machine up at the water crane.

Has Warehouse Wednesday returned officially?

If I have the material. And have been too busy to do any modelling for the blog, so at least another week, and maybe more...

Excellent stuff. I believe that this water tank is not of railway origin, I remember it being put up 25 years ago, I think it came from an industrial site. I guess that since it has been here that long that it is now a railway water tank....over in the storage yard we have an authentic GWR water tank from Reading. It's all in bits and needs someone who is good at lifting very heavy things to put it up.
