Miniature Railways

Pecroama

Pecorama at Beer, Devon

A model train enthusiast's dream.  As well as an sizable exhibition of model railways, it has a good long 7 ¼" gauge track, which included a tunnel !  The best miniature railway I've been on.

Reading Society of Model Engineers 

The nearest live steam to where I live.  Runs first Sunday in the month in the corner of Prospect Park.  Two steam loops and a few model railways inside the main building.

They have just finished laying a ground level 7 ¼" gauge track and building a two platform station complete with foot bridge !

Betws-y-coed Railway Museum

A simply delightful museum. The only place we visited twice on our first holiday in North Wales, and we've been back every time since!

It contained :-

  • A steam driven miniature railway.
  • Sizable museum containing many running model railways.
  • A Tram track with an electric tram run off of overhead wires.
  • Miniature dodgem cars

It is right next door to the main railway station.

Bickton Woodland Railway

A 7 ¼" gauge railway running round Bickton Park in South Devon.  It ran very slowly and was very bumpy.  I only saw diesel engines.  Very crowded.  Deserves one of Daddy's Rants
