Ok ok not trains but of interest........
If in Cornwall this summer and need a fix of Cold War aircraft, do visit the fledgling Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre, Newquay ( next to RAF St Mawgan ....opposite side from the civilian airport). They have started from the remains of Classic Airforce who moved out last year. They have Harrier, two Hunters, Canberra just for starters and you can get into the cockpits...also tour of VC10 tanker and Bac 111. They also have a superb collection of model aircraft. All based in an un used Cold War hanger which has the blast escapes got when the aircraft starts up inside....often not seen. It's early days and need support, but they have achieved a lot in just a year....so don't expect posh and slick but do take advantage of being able to get up and close and often in aircraft normally displayed behind ropes...a modellers dream especially as they allow photos and will help measure etc.
