East Somerset Railway: Steam Raising Small Prairie 4555

The dedicated team at the East Somerset Railway prepare GWR Small Prairie for the Peppa Pig event. The steam raisers were Joseph & Matthew who have dedicated many years to the East Somerset Railway. Chris & Elliot were the footplate crew who continue to serve the railway after many years also of dedicated service. I've been coming to this railway since I was 4/5 years old and it always warms me to know that the railway is ran be an incredible and dedicated team from the footplate, to the permanent-way team, and senior management. Thank you to the team for letting me join them today and show how much hard (and dirty!) work that goes into getting the small prairie into steam.
