Final Open Day Oct 2011

Please find a selection of photos from our open day at the end of Oct 2011. Last one of the year i'm affraid. Very exciting projects are afoot for the 2012 season. CJ has plans for various signal changes. He's like a small boy at christmas. SIGNALS! Luckily, we're not all infected with this afliction. He is on medication for it. But to be fair, we wouldn't be able to run the railway as we do without them.

But before then. Dont forget the Model Railway Exhibition. 11 & 12 Feb 2012.

See you all soon. Will try to keep you all updated over the winter.

See ya, Steve

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."
