Miniature train rides by Basingstoke and District Model Engineering Society
Public hauling includes two laps of the track circuit where people can experience a non-stop run through the station at speed, with a total ride of just under 2000ft in length. Passenger carrying usually takes place between 11am and 4pm.
During a typical day, rides are usually offered behind live steam locomotives or electronically powered locomotives. The live steam locomotives are miniature versions of full size steam engines and burn coal and use water just like full size. The diesel outline locomotives are usually electrically powered, some with authentic sound effects fitted, but some diesel outline locomotives are petrol powered.
