Description All Aboard!This feature is dedicated to all those railway buffs who so enjoy the excitement and nostalgia of the days of steam engines, but especially dedicated to my good friend Sheri, Scooby777, who I know loves the old locomotives of the West and who has presented so many of them here. Also, I must make mention of Alice AlicesPlace who, being a resident of Norfolk, knows all about the following and gave me the tip to check this out.

Good point, Mayumi - the buildings are in keeping with the times. Just a pity about the TV aerials!!

Many Thanks

Many thanks, Sheri. This is at Sheringham, and the the locomotive has just moved down the line from the left, the points have been switched and it is moving along now to the right and up to the front of the train that we came in on. So, it switches ends for each journey.
