It takes 4 days and uses several steam engines.
Their are plenty of other Railtours this year

That one their actually belongs to the owner of 46201, it's her support coach, the rest of the coaches were the dull red colour or "West Coast Maroon" as it's called.

The National Railway Museum in York is the obvious first suggestion.
Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway in the Lake District, Cumbria is a good small railway as is The Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway. ( I assume by small, you mean narrow gauge/non standard track)
If you let me know where you are going, I can tell you the railway attractions in that area.

Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Carlisle are good mainline station's, Carlisle is better if you want freight, also Doncaster if you are using the ECML to get to London.
If you want steam, the North Yorkshire moors railway is your best place that far north.
