L2024_1588-2 9351 at Bishops Lydeard

9351 at Bishops Lydeard before being coupled to the stock of the 10:15 to Minehead.

9351 was originally built in 1934, as a 5101 Class 2-6-2T prairie tank locomotive and was withdrawn from service in June 1962. It arrived at Barry Scrapyard in September 1962.

In August 1979, 5193 was purchased by the 5193 Fund and moved by road to Steamport at Southport in August 1979. Following the closure of Steamport 5193 was purchased by the West Somerset Railway and moved to Minehead in December 1998.

The West Somerset Railway converted the locomotive to a 2-6-0 mogul tender locomotive which would provide the railway with more operating flexibility, due to its larger water and coal capacity.
It was rebuilt by the West Somerset Railway into a 2-6-0, resembling a small boilered version of the GWR 4300 Class and numbered 9351.
