Bristol & Bath's nearest and most-loved preserved railway, offering steam & diesel train & boat rides through the scenic River Avon Valley. With the largest collection of steam locomotives in the UK after the National Railway Museum, Bluebell Railway is a heritage line running between East Sussex and West Sussex. STEAM tells the remarkable story of the men and women who built, operated and travelled on 'God's Wonderful Railway' and brings to life the exploits of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. In 1937 the 100th Gresley Pacific was built by the London and North Eastern Railway, and the railway honoured her designer by giving the locomotive his name. This loco, Sir Nigel Gresley, now bearing the British Railways number 60007, was saved from scrapping in 1966 by a small group of determined men and so The Sir Nigel Gresley Locomotive Preservation Trust was born. A preserved steam railway connecting the town of Sheringham to the picturesque Georgian town of Holt. Featuring the following locos:What are Stamp Sheets?
