A Photo from Day 5 of a 10 day 9 night "Railway Tour" of 13 Museums and Heritage Railway Locations. The Main Aim was to get as many Steam Train Journeys to add to my Steam Powered Journeys Spreadsheet which is my modern "Trainspotting" record.
The East Somerset Railway (ESR) runs trains from Cranmore station to Mendip Vale station and back on a 5 mile round trip along its Heritage Railway line.
Along the line, there is also a halt and Cranmore West Station which is near the Sheds.
There is ample car parking at the Cranmore end of the line on normal running days so I started there.
The day I went during the sort of main summer holidays, there was only 1 steam Locomotive running although another was at the sheds and could have been steamed if thought necessary.
Here, at Cranmore Station, 46447 is about to power the Steam Train I have a ticket for.
46447 is a Ivatt designed LMS "Class 2" 2MT 2-6-0 loco.

Physical evidence of the mishap at Quorn on Saturday. The tender brake hangers on Ivatt Class 2 2-6-0 46521 took a beating during the derailment and the guard iron on the left has been sheared off. The most serious damage was having to flame-cut the drawbar to separate tender & engine so they could be rerailed but apparently there is a replacement available. Our resident strongman will just bend these bars straight again. ;-)
As someone else notably said, " the paperwork will probably take longer than the engineering work needed to repair the engine".
Update May2013: the last statement was true because 46521 was back in service last week and the inquiry recommendations are still awaited.

The stone offers a large Christian Cross next to the roadside. Possibly once ornate coloured this elaborately carved stone has been a great decoration along this route for around one thousand years. On the side of the stone facing away from the road there is superb hunting scene. The carvings overall are assigned to a Pictish style and the stone is thought by many to be carved at the time of the Picts taking on Christianity as their religion. The move from Pagan to Christian iconography is easily seen in the Cross decoration. The working of the Cross and the style of the figures on the reverse indicates this was the Picts carving the stone. The stone may have once held Pictish Symbols on both sides and the Cross may have been used to cover one face and to purify the other. Easter Ross in northern Scotland, notable
The Hilton of Cadboll stone from Easter Ross in northern Scotland has a closely similar hunting scene to Aberlemno 3 it is now in the Museum of Scotland.

Aberlemno 3 like all of the stones at Aberlemno is the an amazing stone monument. The stone beautifully embraces the symbols inscribed by the Picts. The stone as seen from the roadside is a superb emblematic enigma. The symbols have historians, archaeologist and many interested parties proposing possible interpretations of the many Pictish Stones that have been found in Scotland. The Picts left no written accounts and the symbols need to be seen with a Pictish mind-scape, a glimpse into what the symbols meant for them. Whilst the debate continues the stones still attract much attention, they a beautiful and there human artistic sculpting definitely talks to the human consciousness. The contemporary voice from and with the stones gives ideas of raising a commemorative monument for a grave, boundary or ritual marker.

Aberlemno 3 is classified under the J Romilly Allen and Joseph Anderson's survey as a Class II stone.
Pictish stone - Classification
Class I — unworked stones with symbols only incised. There is no cross on either side. Class I stones date back to the 6th, 7th and 8th century.
Class II — stones of more or less rectangular shape with a large cross and symbol(s) on one or both sides. The symbols, as well as Christian motifs, are carved in relief and the cross with its surroundings is filled with designs. Class II stones date from the 8th and 9th century.
Class III — these stones feature no idiomatic Pictish symbols. The stones can be cross-slabs, recumbent gravemarkers, free-standing crosses, and composite stone shrines. They originate in the 8th or 9th century. Historic Scotland describes this class as "too simplistic" and says "Nowadays this is not considered a useful category. A surviving fragment may belong to a monument that did include Christian imagery".

Aberlemno Sculptured Stones
The East Somerset Railway (ESR) is situated at the far end of the Network Rail branch which diverges from the Berks & Hants route at East Somerset Junction, Witham. This branch line principally serves the huge Merehead Quarry; it then continues beyond the junction to the quarry to become the ESR, the boundary being identified by a set of catch-points just short of Cranmore station (which provides sufficient room for the heritage line locomotives to run-round)
The line originally went through to Yatton on the Bristol to Exeter line via Wells and Shepton Mallet. The through route closed to passengers in 1963 and fright in 1969, although a bitumen service continued to serve Cranmore until 1985.
The Cranmore station site was purchased by railway & wildlife artist David Shepherd in 1971 as a base for his locomotives, Class 9F No. 92203 and Class 4MT No. 75029. After site clearance the ESR opened in 1973, and were eventually able to use the main station at Cranmore following the cessation of the bitumen traffic. David Shepherd built a Great Western-design locomotive depot just to the west of the station, and since the line has been extended to a new terminus at Mendip Vale, situated on the outskirts of Shepton Mallet.
The original station building is situated at the far end of the platform (towards the end of the train), while a newer purpose built station and ticket office has been constructed sine (to the right of the telephone box) which contains a shop and refreshment facility.
