Public Rides
Our multi-gauge railway track at Brampton Park is used to give rides to the public when the Society is ‘at home’ on Sunday afternoons between 2.30 and 4.30pm from the beginning of May until the end of September.
We will be offering rides to the public on Wednesdays , 10.30 - 3.00 during the school holidays. July - August 2010
Public hauling is one lap
of our track circuit. Passengers can ride free of charge, but donations
to our funds are always welcome!
We are usually able to offer rides behind Steam Locomotives
and sometimes a diesel or electronically powered locomotive. The live
steam locomotives are miniature versions of full size steam engines and
burn coal and use water just like full size, therefore there may be
risks of smut or burn damage to clothing (although very unlikely)*.
Because of the time it takes to raise steam and cool these engines
there maybe a delay at the start and end of the afternoon.
Rides are always subject to availability and weather.
