Over the past year, Talyllyn Railway steam locomotive No.3 Sir Haydn has been on a unique tour around the steam heritage railways and museums of the UK, and the next leg of its tour has now been announced.
This is the second time that the locomotive has been a visitor to the Severn Valley Railway after appearing as a guest star at the railways ‘Autumn Steam Gala’ in September.
