What a fantastic day out ,there are 3 trains that go around a track a number of times . The price it £1.50 each ride .There are toilets and a snack shop and indoor model trains also.....just across the track there is a small area for model boats ,not very deep and the chaps bring their own boats and let you try them out ,they show you the engines, how they made them while explaining the boats ,was a great day out.

A very fun experience but you’d be doing well to make a day of it unless you bring a picnic etc and go to the waterworks museum too. Very handy if you live locally and it’s good to see the enthusiasm of all of the kind volunteers.
