Diss Steam Museum

[Deleted]

A small museum set in large grounds - so plenty of room for expansion. It boasts three working miniature railways as well as static displays of standard guage engines and carriages. Also on display are traction engines, small lorries, and cars. Here's a little flavour of it.























Does anyone recognise the blue two tone van? Dont PANIC!!! if you don't ;D

Enjoy

Thanks for the memory. Long are the days when I was a rostered driver at Bressingham Diss. BRONLLWYD your first loco picture was a favorite not only of mine but Alan Bloom who set the museum up. I had the privilege of looking after three of their engines when they operated on the Festiniog railway in the nineties, living closer than the Bressingham guys.
Bronllwyd was purchased from the Welsh Penrhyn slate quarry as a wreck and rebuild at Bressingham. It was generally known as the 'old mans loco' refering to Alan Bloom
