The combination is pure delight: a feast for the senses, as unspoilt vistas unfold with every passing moment, revealing centuries of history and mystery. Now you can revisit the time-honoured tales of battles won, trophies raised and British icons born, with the 'Spirit of England' Express – exclusively available from The Bradford Exchange and limited to just 999 editions worldwide.

Thank God they limited it to 999.

A disgrace.

Bradford Exchange should be ashamed.

Have.. Have these people ever seen an English locomotive?

A feast for the senses?! I can think of a sense that that thing is assaulting.
