  • Eaton Railway is a 15" gauge railway it runs just four times a year when Eaton Hall opens it's gardens to the public.
    Our holiday was based around this Open day.
    We arrived early so that we could ride and video this lovely railway,we were told tickets sell out fast for the early trains.When we arrived back at the station all the morning trains had sold out and they were only booking for the afternoon trains,we were very lucky.
    The railway runs from the station around the grounds in a loop then back to the station terminus where it waters up and returns to it's train to leave loco in reverse,the engine can be turned in the triangle if needed.

      I have just added another video of the gardens at Eaton Hall although a bit rushed due to travelling to other railways.You just wouldn't believe how big the grounds are you could fit a large town in that area.......Best wishes Chris

      Just a few! the railway runs in only a small area,this place is massive,the road leading up to the house must be a mile long if not more,well worth a visit......Regards Chris.

    Another very interesting video! I'll have to see if Eaton Hall has any open days this year!

      We were lucky as we got to the hall before it opened, so we were one of the first few in,went to the railway and got tickets for the first train.After a couple of trips she failed. I don't know why or if it came on again later..Some lovely gardens at the hall.

    Can't believe that I've lived in this area most of my life, and only just heard about this Railway 2-3 years ago lol. Have you visited the Grosvenor Park Miniature Railway?, that's not far from here, it's a short but pleasant ride. Love your videos by the way, longtime lurker but first time commenter :)

      Hi Mark.Many thanks for commenting,nice to know you enjoy my videos..I know some can be a bit boring watching the train ride,but this is done for my own records on the railway...It's amazing just how many railways we have in GB,Like you many have said the same,that they didn't know a railway was so close to them. We have been to Grosvenor Park railway in Chester,sadly the railway was closed when we visited,but still on the list to ride...You have a lot of miniature railways in your area,so enjoy riding them....Regards Chris

    A large part of the team are from Llangollen and the Eaton hall railway once went to the network. This line was built in 2000 but the original in Victorian times. I'm also only a village away from here and most people in the area work here.

      Yes the driver said he worked on the Llangollen railway until he got the job here looking after the railway........Cheers Chris

    Great video. I recognize the loco im sure the Ravenglass has a replica in there museum of katie.

    • @ticklishhoneybee9754
      @ticklishhoneybee9754 7 лет назад +1

      Actually this is the replica, the Ravenglass & Eskdale Railway bought the original Katie from Eaton when the original line closed, and they recently rebuilt/restored Katie based on what was left of the original loco.

      Ticklish HoneyBee oh right i was never 100% sure which was which. Thanks

      Hi.This Katie was built in 1994....The original was sold to Ravenglass & Eskdale rly,then sold again to the Llewellyn M.R in Southport,in 1923 she was again sold to the Fairbourne M.R where she operated until scrapped in 1926,parts of the original Katie are back at Ravenglass being rebuilt using Katies original frames and some other parts.
      Another Replica of Katie is being constucted at the Perrygrove Railway in Gloucestershire. I hope that helps you
