Come and witness the celebrity unveiling of
the Pullman Wall Mural and the
Glamour of Brighton exhibition within
the entrance / shop area of the Brighton
Toy and Model Museum.

There will be LIVE special sound effects for
all forms of transport and more besides.

The Brighton Toy and Model Museum and the 5BEL Trust
are celebrating the eagerly anticipated return of a much loved Brighton icon – the world’s only all electric Pullman
train – the elegant Art Deco style Brighton Belle. The
5BEL Trust’s £1 million restoration by professional railway engineers is to ensure the train’s return in 2012 to
the mainline on the 80th anniversary of its construction.
