Croxteth Park Miniature Railway (Liverpool) (4k 50fps)
A great little railway that closed so many years ago and now lovingly brought back to life by a group of volunteers. Not huge but great fun. The park is vast - 500 acres - and contains Croxteth Hall former home of the Earls of Sefton

    Morwellham Quay really is the most wonderful place. I remember going there with a girlfriend a few times in the early 80's and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Everything about the place is fantastic and I would urge everyone to visit it at least once in their lives. Its the sort of place that makes you feel like you really have time travelled and you wish you could stay there.

    When I first encountered this line 25 years ago it was a single circuit but but the extension to the terminal station adds operational interest as well as providing a really worthwhile run for your money. Pre covid they also had a second even more handsome loco and had both in operation in busy periods. I dont know if this is still the case. Anyway hope it carries on and doessnt go the way of Dobwells Forest Railway - tratgic loss after all 5e effort that went into building the routes and the locos.
