Bressingham Steam and Gardens

The site has several narrow gauge rail lines and a number of types of steam engines and vehicles in its collection and is also the home of a Dad's Army exhibition.

His son, Adrian Bloom, laid out five additional gardens for year-round interest, starting with Foggy Bottom in 1963.

He is still largely in charge of the Bressingham Gardens, which are not part of the charity but are privately owned by the Bloom family business.

Consequently, Bloom was able to create his own trust and thus retain control of it, because the collection was of historical and educational importance.

This 10+1⁄4 in (260 mm) gauge miniature railway runs through the Dell Garden, giving passengers clear views of the flower beds.

A turntable is located at the end of the platform road to facilitate the turning of the locomotive with minimal movements required.

The points located at the balloon loop and the entrance to the platform road are spring operated so there is no requirement for a signalman.

The vehicles include Jones's van and the dust cart from the 1971 Dad's Army film, Mainwaring's Austin 8 staff car used in the episode "The Making of Private Pike", the vintage fire engine used in "Brain Versus Brawn" and the steamroller "Boxer" and traction engine "Bertha", which appeared in other episodes.
