October Open Day….

The last public event of 2021 & our most successful.  So much so that the overflow carpark was opened by 11:30!  The weather was kind which meant from early doors we had a steady stream of visitors who enjoyed a train ride, driver experience, tour & sitting out on the decking enjoying a cupper & natter.  We even had a visit from a ‘Steam Punk’!

Our Roving Reporter was there to record the event for posterity…….        (click on the image to enlarge)
