Due to lack of siding space at nearby Bason Bridge, a couple of spare milk tanks are stored in the siding at Catcott for a couple of days. Radstock's 'Jinty' No. 47276, does the honours with this local shunt. Loco shortages on the 'mainline' meant that this unusual helper was drafted in place of the more usual Midland 3F, Collett or Ivatt tank.
