Held partly in the unique setting of the engine shed the exhibition will feature a range of narrow gauge themed layouts in a range of scales, including 16mm live steam and gauges together with trade support. The exhibition also offers the chance to get a close look at the wide variety of steam locos based at the railway including the Baldwin 10-12-D 4-6-0 loco, one of 495 built in 12 months for service on the Western Front and currently the only working example in the UK.


A two-train service will be in operation on the 3 mile narrow gauge line all day giving the opportunity to see trains passing each other along the line. Train tickets which will give free entry to the model railway show can be booked in advance using the online booking facility on the website.
