Where is best for Steam Trains

[nikonuser]

I would like to take some images of live steam trains so where is best to see this type of action.
I'm in Staffordshire Moorlands but would travel to get some nice shots.
thanks
Dave

Severn Valley Railway must be worth a look for you...

You must be close to both the Foxfield and Churnet Valley but if you fancy travelling I would think that the East lancs,Severn Valley and Llangollen are all not a million miles away from you

Didcot is good - you can sneak around all the workshops too...

Keighley and Worth Valley is well worth a visit, and the narrow gauge lines in Wales have the benefit of running in some spectacular landscapes, espcially the Welsh Highland Railway.

The East Lancs is my local one and has been mentioned, drop me a PM if you want some tips on good locations along the line. A few of mine are in here:

There's a 40s weekend coming up soon on the East Lancs, seems a few of us will be meeting there! Thread is HERE.
