Parking Information
Parking is available on-site in designated areas. Please avoid parking on nearby public roads. If you're towing a trailer, navigate with care, particularly near the steaming bay. Watch out for pedestrians near the clubhouse.
Child Safety
Children under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. While we welcome their enthusiasm, the site can pose risks due to moving trains and hot locomotives. Ensure they stay safe and avoid creating hazards.
Photography Policy
Feel free to capture memories of your visit but ensure you have permission before photographing other people's children. Photos or videos of others must not be uploaded to social media platforms without consent.

Operating Your Model
Bring valid boiler and insurance certificates to the Track Marshal. Without them, you won’t be allowed to operate your model. Pressure vessels above 3 bar-litre require certification from a recognised authority.
