No Bulleids Pacifics in the near future then ?

Only allowed between Taunton and Bishop's Lydeard. Braunton has been stabled at B. Lydeard at times this summer, along with Britannia, for working steam rail tours on "The Big Raiway" but that's your lot !

As things stand their best hope is a Cambrian theme, bringing in additional Manor Class locos to augment the two which they have already.
