The 15 inch gauge steam locomotive 'Mark Timothy' at Hoveton & Wroxham station on the Bure Valley Railway in Norfolk, UK
The Bure Valley Railway is a 15 in (381 mm) minimum gauge heritage railway in Norfolk, within The Broads National Park. It opened on 10 July 1990. The railway is built on the trackbed of the East Norfolk Railway (ENR) which started in 1877 when the East Norfolk Railway opened from Norwich to Cromer, with a later extension from Wroxham to Aylsham in 1880. The railway runs from Wroxham to Aylsham (9 miles or kilometres) and is Norfolk's longest railway of less than standard gauge. It uses both steam and diesel locomotives. There are intermediate halts at Brampton, Buxton and Coltishall. There are 17 bridges, including a 105 ft (32 m) long girder bridge over the River Bure in Buxton with Lammas as well as Aylsham Bypass Tunnel under the A140 at Aylsham.
