A class 150 unit has run on peak rail to at least darley dale many years ago.
Until recently both FGW and XC were involved in running shuttle services between Taunton and Bishops Lydeard in connection with WSR gala events. These days WSR run their own services to Norton Fitzwarren.Several modernish DMUs have visited the West Somerset Railway, one of them just last week.
It was a GWR unit, and AFAIK was driven by a GWR driver with a WSR driver conducting. Numerous return trips made between Taunton and Bishops Lydeard.
Similar arrangements have been made in the past.
An HST was stored on the WSR a few years ago, and ran in passenger service on the WSR during the diesel gala.

Definitely counts! It had an incident with a cow, the train won! (Apart from needing to be skated back to the loops to access the DFR to go away by road but that's a minor point )
That was it! I did get a picture whilst on a passing DFR service but I never got round to finding out what the incident was! Thanks.
