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 gauge garden 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. 

Visitors from other societies are made welcome, with or without locos, every Sunday from April to late September. If you would like to run your engine, please contact the Secretary in advance.

Locos are loaded onto the track using the hydraulic lift in the steaming bay.
