The Track

site  drawing for web site nov 20.jpg

Our site has facilities for 3 1/2'', 5'' and 7 1/4'' gauge locomotives, we also have facilities for road vehicles, and garden gauge models. 

The railway is fully signalled and is operated from the signal box. The point system is pneumatically operated.  


Our passenger rolling stock is equipped with vacuum operated brakes.

The outer circuit of the railway is approximately a 1/4 of a mile in length and is a more challenging drive with a 1:35 downhill section, and a 1:43 uphill section. The total line length for normal passenger running is 0.52 of a mile, although various routes can be set.

The line is in operation every Sunday from April to late September. Visitors from other societies are most welcome, with or without locos, If you would like to visit and run your engine, please contact the Secretary in advance.
