The railway which is based in North will see as many as seven model layouts set out in the and Weston Whart stations for what is set to be a very special and unique event.

The popular railway has been operating steam and diesel trains over its two-mile line which was formerly the Cambrian/GWR line between Oswestry and Weston Wharf and opened for the very first time in 50 years after it was abandoned.
