No Coaling stage on West Somerset Railway!!!

If there is one then I can't find it, and I run out of coal sometimes. Anyone have any ideas?. I would add my own but cannot get into the route with the route editor.

Please help.

Isn't there a yellow JCB at either Bishops Lidyeard or Minehead? That's the coaling plant IIRC. Or it might be at Williton, I forget now but I'm sure there is one.

Yes there is a JCB at both ends Minehead and Lydeard but they don't do anything when I press the T key no matter where I place the loco.

Anyone?

does the loco eng or tender wag have a fuel intake line? Not all people put them in.

it does work, certainly at minehead, just move forward slowly until the digger moves. Its not instantaneous.

It is also not on the track you'd think it would be. The JCB actually crosses the first line to get to the line where you are at Minehead.

you have got to be in the loop road at minehead to be able to coal the locos
