Check out our events page and make sure you come along to help us celebrate our big birthday!
Did you know that we have a wheelchair carriage to make our railway more accessible, allowing more people to enjoy it? Just let the ticket office know (there may be a short wait while we couple it up to our train). Or contact us in advance to let us know you’re coming. 🚂
Out resident loco, Red Dwarf, was out and about on Sunday at Barnards Miniature Railway with drivers Stevie and Kian. It was a good day out for all, with lots of other visiting locos. Here’s a few photos of their day out in Essex. #scamploco #miniaturerailway #trains
