Hey everyone!
Our locomotives have done an excellent job pulling their passengers this year, so we’re giving them and their drivers some much deserved holiday break!
The railway will be closed today (28th December) and next week (4th January).
We will be back open, bright and fresh on the 11th January and look forward to seeing everyone then!

Hey everyone!
Your patronage on Sundays is much appreciated! However recently we’ve had extremely high passengers. Although officially we close at 4:00pm, we have to close the queue at 3:30pm to ensure our trains get a good nights rest on time!
If you’re looking at coming later in the day, we highly reccomend getting into the queue before 3:30pm so you can have a ride!

Look who’s back, fresh off an overhaul!
Our DSB locomotive was in need of some major repairs but she’s back on the tracks and boy does she go fast! (All within the speed limit rules, haha)
A new motor controller has been installed with a new control interface, some fresh batteries to boot and she’s really moving now!
Big thanks to the team for getting her online for all our drivers!

Hey everyone!

The railway will still be open this Sunday, the 22nd of December! But after this, our trains need a well deserved good Christmas holiday rest, so we'll be closed on the 29th December and 2nd of January! Our good trains will be rested up and back in action after that!
Merry Christmas to everyone and we look forward to seeing everyone next year!

Currently owned by Ron, he believes it was originally built in 1850 and was a travellers sample - a travelling salesman would go to prospective factories and use this as a sample as to what could be built for them as a mill engine!
