      Another locomotive has been added to the list for the Thomas weekend. It will be Captain Baxter from the Bluebell Railway. This small 0-4-0T engine features in Rev W Awdry's book "Stepney the Bluebell Engine". During the Thomas Weekend the 1877-built Captain Baxter will spend his time at Minehead shunting the yard. Built by Fletcher Jennings & Co at Whitehaven, the loco spent its entire working life at a Dorking quarry until rescued for preservation by the Bluebell Railway.
