A very good question  I love steam, but it was interesting to see 60s diesels for a change especially as I remember them. Sorry Mr Mouse! Apparently I was only 5 minutes from another mate's place too. Ought to consult the MMMotors map before I go roadtripping. |

I like the emblem on the train. Very pretty. I really like the 'crest' on the wall. Looks like cast iron. Was it, or just plaster?  |

There's a steam railway near Mankey Towers known as the Watercress Line or Mid Hants Railway. http://www.watercressline.co.uk/The line runs from Alresford to Alton, with a stop along the way. Had a grand day out there this year, and we were allowed on the footplate of the loco that we were about to ride on, and after a question to one of the friendly staff, we we granted a quick look inside the active signal box with a brief explanation by the gentleman in charge. Here's a video of one of their Special Events, the Steam Gala. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWJY0XcbDAYThis years Steam Gala is from Friday 21st- Sunday 23rd October http://www.watercressline.co.uk/product.php/33/autumn-steam-gala/5c9377c976590acdca5e5bcac260cf77Photo is the steam loco we first rode on |
