Gartell Light Railway - S&DJR: Strike a pose

Received this photo of Mike showing people around the engine shed on one of the August Sundays. Strike a pose Mike.

Gartell Light Railway

John and Christine Gartell, their family and friends look forward to welcoming you to the narrow gauge Gartell Light Railway. Step back in time to a more leisurely age and ride through the beautiful Blackmore Vale countryside along the route of the old Somerset & Dorset Railway.

Our delightful half-size trains are operated in exactly the same way as their full-size counterparts, with every train movement governed by an array of semaphore and colour-light signals controlled by the signalman in two signal boxes. It is therefore no exaggeration to say that the Gartell Light Railway is a working museum of traditional railway practice.

Visitors often tell us: "We live locally but we had no idea that the railway was here. We shall certainly come again. Everyone is so friendly and it's such good value for money."
