Blists Hill Victorian Town - fireclay mine train
Blists Hill Victorian Town - fireclay mine train
One of the more recent developments is this little train that goes into a recreated fireclay mine where an illuminated animation plays on the wall. The battery electric locomotive is at this end and was built by Alan Keef of Ross-on-Wye. The passenger carriages have he same provenance. It is a very competent piece of kit. I am not sure that they can justify relieving you of another £2 for a short train ride but plenty of people were travelling.
