PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A PRIVATE RAILWAY,they do have three open weekends a year.
We have been trying to ride this private railway for many years now and we finally made it today.With the help of a You tube member who told me of this open weekend,thank you.
A round trip of 150 miles but well worth while.
The railway is 7 1/4" gauge and has the very interesting loco's.

Nice video brings back happy memories of when I visited there around 15 years ago, it must be now when I was last on a family holiday in Norfolk which happily coincided with one of the open days . We were staying a village nearby and saw a poster advertising a garden railway open-day and though it might be worth a look. Was amazed what an impressive set up it was, a bit of a step up from your typical garden railway! Nice to see that its still going.

Many thanks for your kind comment,the line only opens a few times a year....As we have been trying to ride all the preserved standard gauge,narrow gauge and miniature lines plus Model Engineering Society's of the UK for the last 45 years,we may have seen and rode many railways you may never have heard of,some sadly no longer running.....Have a look through my videos and enjoy.I have filmed the ride on most of the videos for my reference, so I hope you don't get too bored............Best wishes Chris

Ahh you did get me! Saw you over the fence and gave a wave, the last train you filmed with the green carriages! First time I'd managed to make it to an open day here, great line they've got! a lot of groundwork went into that and even then you need big powerful locomotives to get up the hill. I don't think my 1hp electric would do well here...! Ben from King's Lynn Model Engineers :)

What a great film you have produced, a thumbs up from me. Like the look of the railway, loco's and track. I'd asked a cousin who often travels Kings Lynn to Hunstanton to tell me when there would be an open day. I might get there one day! I believe money raised goes to charities?
