West Somerset Model Railway

3803 today landed at her new home

Today we received delivery of 3803 which was resident of the former West Somerset Model Railway which has now been closed and replaced with the Swanage Model Railway which started running this weekend. 3803 will be at Sandford on long term loan as she no longer has a full time home. Hopefully she will be a great addition to the railway!
