Our famous Bickington Steam Railway is ready and waiting for new passengers to board and enjoy the sights. The 101/4 inch gauge railway provides transport around the site. “Riverside Station” is adjacent to the main car park at the front of Trago and has 3 tracks which end in a turntable. From here, trains cross a road by an automatic level crossing and run alongside a river, before crossing the river. The railway then joins the original circuit, which loops around and across itself several times. At one point there are 6 parallel tracks, all on different levels.

The second station “Trago Central” has two platforms. After leaving “Trago Central” trains pass over an impressive 23 pier viaduct and pass the workshop & engine shed before heading back to “Riverside station”, where the locomotive is turned and run round the train.
