Public Running

Kids and adults of all ages love to ride on our 660 metre miniature railway track at North Scarle Village Playing Field.
The railway is open to the public on selected weekends during the period April to September

Private Parties

Pre-booked private running for children’s birthday parties or other celebrations are always popular.

Portable Track

During the summer months we offer the facility of a portable track, loco and carriages which we can bring to any suitable site. In the past we have attended company family days, village fairs and County Shows.

Working Days

Members of the Society meet on Thursday mornings to deal with all the tasks that require attention to keep the railway running  and looking smart. These range from track and signal maintenance to painting the infrastructure and overhauling locos and rolling stock. Plus once a month, members bring their own engines to run round the track.
And of course when we are running trains for the public there is a need for members to act as drivers, signalmen and station masters, for which full training is given. So there is a role for everyone – even those who don’t posses or build their own engines
