East Herts Miniature Railway Gala

This weekend is the East Herts Miniature Railway Gala Weekend.

The EHMR is a 7 1/4 inch gauge line situated in the Van Hage Garden Centre, near Ware, Hertfordshire. It opened in 1978 and has an interesting 1/4 mile run through the grounds of this very large garden centre.

I popped in for a quick visit. Here are some snaps… Click on a picture for a larger image.

They had a third Tinkerbell on static display. Children could sit inside to learn how a steam locomotive works. Nice idea.
