A nice place to round off a day of exploration
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
On with the pics.
The mighty SAR 25NC Class 4-8-4 No. 3405 - 3' 6" gauge! This is big The Tender alone has 2, three wheeled bogies!
One of the 2 trains in steam on our visit
BR(WR) 94XX Class 0-6-0PT No. 9466 at rest in the shed This has recently undergone a full resto
Restoration in progress of a BR(WR) Hawksworth Brake Third No. W2242.
My favourite is this New York Subway car. Along way from Brooklyn
The rebuilt Rewley Road Station was dismantled, moved and rebuilt on site and now houses the Dining car from the Royal Train along with GWR Castle Class, Defiant
Part of a big London Transport Collection lays in the sheds beyond the cab of this once Circle Line Underground train
