Today is our annual steam Gala. We are open for Public Running with steam locos running on both our tracks. Our Garden Railway will be open for viewing – this is where our smaller trains run. Our model railway exhibits will be open and you will be able to try driving a steam loco using our simulator. There will be trade stands including Tierney Model Railway Shop, Saddletank Books, the B17 Steam Loco Trust and the 45163 Black 5 Restoration Group.
