A nice place to round off a day of exploration:thumb
This place has a big history behind it and most can be read on there website here:

There is a varied collection of locomotives here from the mighty South African Railways, to London Underground trains. You can wander around most of the site and there is always at least 1 train in steam:thumb
On with the pics.
