Unfortunately due to the weather starting to turn against us we have decided to stop running our ride on railway for today.

We are open! This year to make up for our lack of an exhibition (more on that later) we are hosting extra open days at our site. We would like to see as many of you as we can so we can share our hobby and creations with you. Why not come down and join us for the day or even a few hours?
