Every time we used to go through Lynmouth this was an obligatory stop for our railway obsessed son. Entrance is free but donations are gratefully accepted. The main model is incredibly detailed and real passion obviously went into its construction . Even if model railways are not your thing, this one is worthy of anybody's attention. If you have railway obsessed children, this is a stop not to miss.
