Welcome to our website

We offer the unique experience of travelling in many countries by private vintage steam hauled train giving you the time and opportunity to view and enjoy the scenery. There may be the chance to stand on an open balcony, or open the window and smell the countryside.

We include most meals, many served in our own restaurant car on the train or served al fresco at an old station. Most of our charters are day-time only and we use hotels for overnight stays. Some tours – including the Southern African and the Russian tours - feature vintage hotels trains providing overnight accommodation, with hotel accommodation at our destination.

Where we use predominantly service trains, as in Canada, Switzerland and Norway, we devise unique itineraries and include special steam hauled programmes to complement the tour.

Our new UK tours for this Autumn/Winter period are now available for you to view.
