Reviewed By Famrave - Bristol, United Kingdom
Came across this my accident - municipal park near the docks - great cafe for coffee and cakes - and on display with no health and safety nonsense - about 10 classic Greek locomotives. It really is a trainspotters dream come true. Everything is open so there are signs of a slow steady decay - and there are no explanations or guidance of any sort - but you can get all that suff on line. Just enjoy being in the presence of true steam locomotive royalty!!
