A fantastic public running day on our miniature railway on August 23rd, with families, enthusiasts and first-time visitors all enjoying rides behind our hardworking little locomotives. The station was buzzing throughout the day, with multiple engines in steam and on display across our 7¼”, 5” and Gauge 1 tracks. It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces as trains travelled around the railway. Thank you to everyone who visited, volunteered and helped make it such a successful day.

Join us for our next public running event on Sunday 6th September. Come along and enjoy a ride on the miniature railway and to see our locomotives in action! We look forward to welcoming you!

On Sunday 28th June 2026 our model engineering team were delighted to host a special event for the Stafford branch of the National Autistic Society. Visitors of all ages enjoyed our rides on our 7 1/4 gauge steam locomotives and had the chance to chat to our members about the gauge 1 and 16mm garden railway setups. A great time was had by all involved. We look forward to hosting similar events throughout the year. Below are some images on the day with permission from the National Autistic Society. We hope these memories capture the joy, learning, and community spirit shared by everyone who attended.
