An absolutely brilliant weekend at the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway’s Diesel Gala at Toddington Narrow Gauge Railway. Lots to see on the main line - Sulzers and Hymeks alongside the home fleet - with our stalwart Simplex ‘Bryneglwys’ on 2’ metals and a range of steam and “diesel” (electric) power on 1:19 scale rails.

The weather looks cooler, although still very pleasant, this Sunday 19th July. We’ll be running alongside Toddington Narrow Gauge Railway with trains from our station at the west side of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway car park at 1100, 1145, 1230, 1400, 1445 and 1530hrs.

29/05/2026

Next running day will be Sunday 14 June, a part of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway Rail Ale Festival. We might even have some 1:19 scale ale-themed activity… watch this space!

We’ll be running all three days of the Bank Holiday weekend, alongside Toddington Narrow Gauge Railway as part of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway’s Cotswold Festival of Steam.

Take a short journey to California Crossing in a steam-hauled (subject to availability) open carriage, the garden railway is alongside the station platform and restored, operational signalbox.

16mm Association members are welcome to bring locos and stock to run, although we ask you to make contact beforehand so we can ensure arrangements are in place for your visit.

Honey, I shrunk the loco…

Quick visit to the railway today to take some critical dimensions and get detailed photos of a lovely Avonside/Hunslet 0-4-2 in 16mm scale by Peter Angus.

It’s very similar to ‘Chaka’s Kraal No. 6’, out-of-ticket but on display at California Crossing on the Toddington Narrow Gauge Railway.

Next running days will be all three days of the late May Bank Holiday (Saturday 23rd, Sunday 24th, Monday 25th May). While this loco has now gone back to its home base elsewhere in the UK, there are likely to be a range of miniature steam engines running on the garden railway alongside 2’ and Standard gauge as part of Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway’s Cotswold Festival of Steam!

30/04/2026

Toddington Narrow Gauge Railway will be open Sunday 3th and Monday 4th May, so we’ll be operating too.

Visiting locos and stock are more than welcome, we ask for 16mm membership if running (for insurance reasons) and please do get in contact either via Messenger or [email protected] first so we can discuss the best way of getting to our site.

Welcome to our new followers! We’ll be running today (26 Apr) and the weather forecast looks perfect.

Toddington Narrow Gauge Railway will be operating with trains at 1100, 1145, 1230, 1400, 1445 and 1530 alongside the Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway’s Spring Railwayana Car Boot event.

Any guesses as to which 16mm-scale live steam loco will be on the layout today?

18/04/2026

It’s a maintenance weekend for Toddington Narrow Gauge Railway, with plenty to be getting on with ahead of our next public running day.

We’ll next be open on Sunday 26th April, alongside Gloucestershire Warwickshire Railway’s Spring Railwayana Car Boot event. Ride the 2’ Narrow Gauge Railway to California Crossing to see the Garden Railway, or if you’re a 16mm Association member and would like to run… please do get in contact via Messenger or email.

A day of April showers, and the kit is now all unpacked to dry. We did manage to run alongside every Toddington Narrow Gauge Railway service, and even clocked a large articulated loco on both inner and outer circuits… the rain then sunshine made for some very impressive steam effects!
