Strand Miniature Railway 7 ¼ inch
The Strand Miniature Railway opened in 1948 and was originally a 9inch gauge line which ran from the First Aid hut alongside the putting green and tennis courts. The line was regauged the following year when a steam engine was on demand. In 1974 the line was extended to its present layout. Trains depart from Riverside Station which has a passing loop, running through a tunnel/shed which used to be an old Anderson shelter. The present locomotive was delivered in the 1980s and refurbished in 2006.
