The first day of our holiday to Norfolk saw us visit the Bressingham Steam Museum which was celebrating it's '50th Anniversary' over a special weekend.
All of the museum's attractions were in operation including the 'Golden Gallopers' and the four railway lines. The Standard-Gauge Demonstration Line saw Norwegian NSB 2-6-0 No.377 "King Haakon VII" running up and down giving Footplate Rides; the 2-ft. Gauge 'Nursery Railway' had two trains in operation including Bressingham's Freelance 0-4-0ST+T No.2 "Bevan" and New-build 'Hunslet' 0-4-2ST "Statfold" (visiting from the Statfold Barn Railway). The 15-inch Gauge 'Waverney Valley Railway' had Exmoor-built 0-6-2T "St. Christopher" (recently arrived from the Windmill Farm Railway) and finally Bressingham's 10.25-inch Gauge 'Garden Railway' was worked by 0-4-2ST+T No.1 "Alan Bloom".
In addition to the trains, some Traction-Engines were visiting as well as having two of Bressingham's road-locomotives moving around, too: 'Garret' Traction-Engine "Bunty" and 'Garret' Steam-Roller "Buster" were joined by visiting Traction-Engines "Oliver" and "The President". Also, the Leyland Fire-Engine used in the 'Dad's Army' episode "Brain vs. Brawn" was out and about as was the van driver by Clive Dunn (who played Lance-Corporal Jones) that was used in "Dad's Army - The Movie".
