Little Western Railway 7 ¼ inch
This line, the “sister” to Lappa Valley, runs in a circuit close to Newquay Zoo. There is a tunnel, two stations and two bridges over a stream. At the main station, there is also a turntable and engine shed facilities. Trains are run by the Mardyke HST with 3 sit-in coaches, and the cosmetically restored Royal Scot is on static display. In 2009 the line was restored significantly back to its former glory.
