People riding a model train

About

Our trains are hauled by electric or real steam locomotives. The engines are capable of hauling adult passengers as well as children on coaches that are designed so that you sit astride the track. This saves the strain on the driver's back.

The railway track is approximately 350m in an oval shape. One journey is usually twice round giving a ride of nearly 1/2 mile. There is a viewing area where you can watch the locomotives being prepared and a seating area between the station and the club house. Refreshments are available to purchase in the club house and there are toilets on site. Visitors to the railway track are welcome to cross the line by the footbridge to watch the trains go around the track. Sometimes we will have a traction engine here giving rides as well.
