title The Heritage Steam Gala, Bressingham Steam Museum, Norfolk - 1st May 2023 intro We head out on a spur-of-the-moment thing to catch the last few hours of the Heritage Steam Gala at Bressingham Steam Museum. We've enough time to do a couple of the narrow-guage railway rides - the Fen and the Waveney - and the Victorian gallopers, as well as the penny arcades and have a look round at the various traction and other steam engines. A few days later, there's another bike ride on the new Gislingham/Burgate/Redgrave loop, with a quick stop at Botesdale. imgp2787 A Doran Brothers traction engine from Thetford imgp2792 A traction engine trundles around imgp2798 Some engineer dudes chat near a thresher imgp2804 A steam roller named Buster clanks around imgp2811 A 62 Martello, or Class A1X imgp2814 We have a go on the Victorian gallopers imgp2824 A collection of traction engines imgp2827 A dude tends to his Ransome's, Simms and Jeffries imgp2830 An engine called Oliver imgp2834 The narrow-guage Marchlyn imgp2841 The engine drivers stop for a tea imgp2842 Isobel and Harry on the Fen line imgp2843 There's a queue for the gallopers imgp2845 The Ransomes, Simms and Jeffries engine imgp2846 A tiny engine actually has a number plate imgp2847 Hanging around near the carousel imgp2852 The train heads into the woods imgp2859 Near the end of the line imgp2861 Another engine with another driver imgp2862 The traction engine is still trundling around imgp2864 The Quarry Hunslet engine Jack Lane imgp2865 Another view of 662 Southern Martello imgp2869 Harry and Isobel cross the tracks imgp2876 The shiny Jack Lane, built in 2006 imgp2879 The enormous V.
