Willans Hill Miniature Railway

The railway was established in 1978 by Raymond Catts, who advertised for interested persons to form a club for the display and use of models.

It includes 3 km (1.9 mi) of a combined 7+1⁄4 inches (180 mm) and 5 inches (130 mm) track, two stations, two tunnels, three bridges, four buildings, 6 locomotives owned by the club and a number of personally owned locomotives.

An annual Invitational Run has been held every year since 1988 on the first weekend of November.

Traditionally, the Saturday is for club members only and the Sunday event is open for public running.

The first 24-hour run, called Railway for Life, was held 15–16 September 2007 in aid of the Cancer Council.
