North Cornwall, Brandhojbanen: MR56

Description

North Cornwall Miniature Railway

What an unlikely day out! It’s a 10.25″ miniature railway with everything…1:30 gradients, a tunnel, miles of sidings and a rich crop of locomotives. This private line is in deepest Cornwall, but it opens four times a year for charity, and the next date is expected to be October 2022… details to be finalised soon, we understand. For a video journey round the railway, search YouTube for ‘North Cornwall Miniature Railway’.
