Best Railtours

[Track Basher]

Similar to the best day bashing theme but what are your top five railtours. Railtours can also include BR run Adex or Mystex trains.

These can be UK only.

As there can be some quite big age differences on here and there is a potential to have a lot of tours.

You can split this down if you wish by decade

80s would be 1980 to 1989 etc.

You could have top 5 in each decade.
