More LMS steam visited Taunton on Saturday 16th July 2016, when No. 46115 'Scots Guardsman' visited the West Somerset Railway with the 'West Somerset Explorer' which is part of The Railway Touring Company program for 2016. The 1Z46 08:06 London Paddington - Minehead departed London Paddington on time and arrived onto the WSR around lunch time. Once at Bishops Lydeard BR 7F No.53808 took over for the run to Minehead and back (accompanied by a West Coast Railways Class 37 on the rear of the set, which had travelled down on the back of the train from London). Scots Guardsman is seen at Longlands Farm heading for Bishops Lydeard where the loco would later be serviced in time for its return trip.
