We are open from Easter - December on Sundays 10am - 4pm with free admission and offer you the chance to experience railway history from Victorian times to the 1950s. Trains operate on special event days and we have some Saturday events including the annual Easter Rally with classic vehicles and the 1940's weekend - for more details please check out the events page
Our volunteers are essential to the running of our railway and if you would like to be part of our friendly team please contact our volunteer co-ordinator or visit at a weekend to find out more.
We are home to a number of historic Victorian and other vintage , carriages and wagons plus a range of industrial steam and diesel locomotives. You can explore our station, which was built in 1861 and served the community here for 100 years, visit the 1930s buffet car (when trains are running) for light refreshments and wander around our small museum. We also offer tours of our maintenance shed and workshop which houses a wide range of historic railway locomotives and rolling stock (subject to volunteer availability).
