Reviews of Famous Trains

K. P.

Great little hidden gem tucked away in well kept park. Reasonable admission charges. Visoted with my two children, volunteers are friendly and provided my children with a quiz to find various objects around the layouts. We stayed around 45 minutes while completing the hunts and really enjoyed ourselves!

H. M.

It was a small space but was filled with incredible detail. Went near to the closing time but two of the members patiently gave a tour so that nothing was missed. I bet kids would enjoy it a lot too. They're open to new members!

Great layouts and models liked the interactive buttons for the children but some didn't work ! Only marred by the over enthusiasm of a member of staff who wouldn't leave us alone to enjoy the visit ! Signage in the park is non existent to direct you but we found it eventually!!!

Hidden gem in the park. Reasonably priced. Very interactive and child friendly. Very enthusiastic volunteers. However, one in particular was abit overly conciencous which spoilt the visit slightly. Some of the buttons didn't work. My favourite was the hogwarts set up. Signage to the trains needs to be improved.

We spent a couple of hours here, we had one of the team talk us through all the displays and show us all the different models. Really knowledgeable and friendly staff, would recommend for any train enthusiast! Was a little difficult to find in the middle of the park but the surroundings are nice for a good wander.

This place is small and run by volunteers. That said it feels huge. One large layout and some smaller ones all with interactive features and quizzes for children. Took almost three year old and struggled to get him out. Prices very resonable £5 for a family ticket and you can cime and go all day. Thete is also a small shop selling gifts and some model railway items.

Lovely trains model museum. Located inside the park next to the main car park. Reasonable prices for the tickets. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Place in a bit too small. But if you are interested in trains, you could spend an hour here. Lovely selection of train models. I liked the Hogwarts Express the best as I am a Harry Potter fan.

Lovely little train place and only a couple o quid for an all day ticket

Hidden gem. Local model railway (I think is run by volunteers) showcasing some famous trains and scenery. Inexpensive (was £5 for a family ticket) took my 7 year old niece and she said she enjoyed it. Plenty to see on the sets

This is a hidden gem. This is located right next to the main car park. Brilliant little attraction. Large model train installation, staffed by what are kind gentle but passionate people who love what they do and are very knowledgeable about the trains.

Very informative and helpful staff, made a better experience by the quiz that is offered on entry....the quiz device demands closer scrutiny of the exhibit than would otherwise be the case so the children (and adults) get more out if their visit.
