The miniature railway at North Scarle serves two purposes. One is to allow members with locomotives to test the running capabilities of their engines and experience the pleasure that comes from piloting their own engines on a substantial track. The second purpose is to allow the public to share in the fun as passengers and contribute to the funds so necessary to maintaining the track and associated facilities.

The track is an oval of approximately one third of a mile which runs round the perimeter of the North Scarle village playing field with the facility for both 5”and 7.25” gauge running at ground level.

There are raised and ground level steaming bays for both gauges, a turntable and a hydraulic lift for offloading locomotives from vehicles and trailers.

The line travels round the field with the normal running direction anti-clockwise, from the old station at the compound, over the level crossing and under the trees along the east side of the field, passing the new signal box and entering North Scarle Halt. Leaving this station it passes through the “tunnel” and down to the corner of the field around the cricket pitch, turning north, down the bank and then turning again to run alongside Clog Bank. It then runs from the field exit gate parallel to the football pitch and into the second “tunnel” at the rear of the old station.
