Bure Valley Railway, the first 10 years

By the time of my next visit the line had it's own fleet of locomotives, the two mainstays being a pair of 2-6-2 locomotives built by Winson in the style of the ZB class originally built for India by Bagnalls of Stafford.  The other steam loco available for use was 'Wroxham Broad', a 2-6-2T in the style of a Vale of Rheidol locomotive, rebuilt from an internal-combustion steam outline loco named 'Tracey-Jo' that had previously run on the Fairbourne and Kirklees lines.
