    After visiting the Clifton Suspension Bridge and SS Great Britain (see the thread in 'Everything Else Heritage'), we went over to Swindon to visit the very well presented STEAM museum in Swindon, also home to the MacArthur Glen designer shopping outlet in the old works containing 7808 Cookham Manor, which looks great in GWR Shirtbutton livery

    Gorgeous model of a 61XX Large Prairie

    28XX 2-8-0T being overhauled in the wartime works

    A nice touch is that you can walk underneath it
