VISITORS were able to take a last look at the Somerset & Dorset Railway Trust's museum at Washford station, West Somerset Railway, on August 29-30, ahead of its vacation of the site at WSR pie's request.
The trust was given notice to quit the site in February and, following a series of discussions, meetings and Heritage Railway Association mediation, is now looking for a new permanent home for its collection.
The Mid-Hants Railway, which recently became the temporary home of the S&DRT's'7F'2-8-0 No. 53808 (see separate story), has offered to help house part of the collection of vehicles and artefacts, although much will have to go into store unless a new base is found before the trust has to quit the Washford site in February.
