It certainly is leaning into the curve. I really like that. What gauge are the tracks over there?

Is that a regular excursion run? Shame I never saw anything like that running when I lived in England. Only saw a couple in museums.

There's quite a few steam excursions throughout the year that run on the regular tracks, here's (http://www.uksteam.info/tours/trs08.htm) a list.
