Down Train,

Running down from the shed and passing the water tower to reverse onto its train at Platform 2, Bishops Lydeard on the West Somerset Railway, This locomotive has been converted from a 2-6-2 tank engine and has proved to be an admirable performer and very well suited to the line.

Very nice and evocative shot, Roger.

Yes, these locomotives are sometimes incredibly thirsty and then they can only be moved to "continue working" if they get a lot of water... (͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ) (◕‿-)
