When was the last time "You" travelled on a Steam-Train?

Including preserved or Miniature tracks.

a couple of years ago we took a tour on a steam train in Michigan.

About 5 years ago, I took my granddaughter on the Nene Valley
Railway to Wansford to see Thomas the Tank Engine.

2 Years ago in Devon, we had lunch on the train and it was wonderful.
I spent my childhood travelling on a steam train from Plymouth to Penzance.

3 year ago I went on a heritage railway that runs alongside Cheltenham racecourse. Peep peep!

i have never traveled on a steam driven train they were out of action before i began riding trains. electric diesel was all the rage. there are some short line steam locomotives still in action and i hope to ride one some day.

A Sunday in September 1960, Waterloo (UK) to Lyme Regis, day excursion. Return fare was £1.05. Route was over the famous Atlantic Coast Express Line. Lyme Regis branch now torn up by Beeching. Much of the route now single track west of Basingstoke using diesel traction.
In 2002 I walked the Plymouth branch near Okehampton to the west of Yes Tor for about a mile and was amazed at the gradient of the old line, frequently used during my naval service at Plymouth, this line has also been torn up.

Never have, but I remember them going by our house in the late 50's.

In the late 1950's somewhere.... it was running at a park. Park and engine are long since gone.

Last year 2008: We on the Eastern edge of Stoke on Trent have real steam trains that we can travel on for about 5 miles. The station Fox Field, has a bar and cafe which serves dinners etc during the summer. It is located between Blythe Bridge and Caverswall Staffordshire. The local Church of St. Peters is worth a visit too with a statue of Martha Parker the wife of Admiral Lord John Jervis of Cape ST. Vincent. His statue is in Westminster Abbey. Further on toward Leek, in Cheddleton we have another railway set in a Beautiful valley. Pete Waterman has an interest here. There is also a Castle called Caverswall Castle and the new owner Ian MaClaren has turned it into a very nice Hotel. Cromwell attacked it, but that was not because he didn't like the Hotel! We are 5 miles from Alton Towers.
