What’s happening on our Facebook Page?
As we continue our pre-Christmas exhibition in the Orchard Shopping Centre, Taunton, I am rather quiet on social media and only visiting Facebook very occasionally when time allows. ![]()
So here's a seasonal contribution from me of 8F No. 48305 heading the mineral wagons past Rabbit Bridge on the Great Central Railway just after sunrise on a wintery 20th January 2023. We will have another attempt at getting such a glint shot on 21st/22nd January, this time with the Grange No. 6880 "Betton Grange" on a Timeline Events charter. I believe there are still a few places available. ![]()

We have now started once again in the Orchard Shopping Centre in Taunton. This is our 10th year here in the Centre, and our 17th in Taunton for Christmas. We're located outside Hines jewellers, HMV and TUI. ![]()
We're here each day now through until Christmas Eve, open between 9am and 4.30pm (10.30am to 4pm on Sundays). ![]()
Come and take a look if you are in or visitingOrchard Shopping Centreing Centre
Well the shows for 2024 are all but done, we just have our largest annual exhibition event to come. Starting on Saturday (30th Nov), through until Christmas Eve, we'll be in our usual location (for the past 10yrs) in the middle of the Orchard Shopping Centre, formally known as the "Old Pig Market" in Fore Street, Taunton. We'll have a gallery style display of large framed images and lots of smaller prints in baskets etc. and some nice Christmas gift ideas. We are open between 9am and 5pm daily (except 10.30am to 4.0pm Sundays). So if you're in the area pop by and say hello/merry Christmas etc. and see if we have an image that freshen up one of your rooms. ![]()
The attached image features the very pleasant Isle of Wight Steam Railway at Ashey Common with 02 No. 24 "Calborne" passing by on the misty morning of 16th November 2010 as part of my two day "Steam Recreations" charter event on the line. ![]()
