BRESSINGHAM Steam Museum in Norfolk is marking the diamond jubilee of the late Alan Bloom starting his collection of rail, road and fairground steam engines. A big steam event is set for September 18/19, with trains running on the various gauge railways.
The first railway opened to the public was the 9½in gauge Garden Railway. This was regauged to 10¼in and extended in 1995, and runs for 1350yd (1230m) along the perimeter of the gardens from the Dell Garden to the coach park.
