A miniature train ride with a difference! In as close as you can get to the real thing, with scale speeds of up to 75-80mph, we enjoy a train ride from 'Hardwick Central' to 'Cockrow Hill' (terminus) on the 7.25 inch gauge Great Cockrow Railway near Chertsey on 8th July 2018, hauled by SR Class Q 0-6-0 30542 & NER Class Q6 / T2 0-8-0 1249 'Hecate.'
