Overview
Why buy from us?
Steam train enthusiasts in Nottinghamshire can book onto this most fun sized of experiences, driving a miniature steam engine at the Sherwood Forest Railway! This delightful family owned narrow gauge railway is situated on the edge of the former Sherwood Forest farm park in what was once flood dykes to irrigate the surrounding fields, forest and woodland. Work on building the line began in 2000, on which runs a fleet of 5/8th scale steam and diesel engines, and an array of bright coloured passenger coaches. First purchased by their current owners in 1998, Smokey Joe and Pet's line has gradually been extended over the years (it currently stands at 1 mile long), and it includes two level crossings, a tunnel and two stations at Welldale and Loxley, and they have subsequently been joined by another steam loco, Doodlebug. All were part of a collection of narrow gauge steam engines that were utilised throughout the late 19th and early 20th century to assist with constructing railways, roads and waterways. On this special VIP experience, you'll be welcomed and taken through a full safety briefing, where you're shown how to fire up the engine, as you begin a return trip along the line where you'll be doing all the hard work at the footplate, in truly atmospheric surroundings that'll add up to a fun day for all steam enthusiasts!
