It was the weekend and the weather was too good to stay indoors, so my wife and I jumped in the car for a trip to Pulborough for a visit to an antique emporium followed by a look around the garden center to pick up some end of season bargains. After a coffee and a cake I wandered over to the railway where there is usually a train running at the weekends for children: parents and grandparents are also welcome. There were three passenger trains and freight train running, clearly it was a special event weekend, I didn’t have my cameras with me, so I asked one of the railway’s volunteers whether a similar train service would be running the following day, to which the answer was “Yes”. I returned early the following day to film the locomotives being prepared for the day ahead, it turned out to be a really good event with plenty of rail action and the bonus of a model railway display.
The garden center is about a mile from the town center and a 10 minute walk from the mainline railway station. The town itself is located in West Sussex close to the ancient and modern bridges carrying the A29 London to Bognor Regis road over the River Arun.

Locomotives in action on the day were:
No.6100 in LMS crimson livery, similar in appearance to a 'Royal Scot' locomotive.
No.6220 LMS streamlined pacific locomotive 'Coronation' in blue with bold silver lining.
No.27 ‘The Railway Mission’ in British Rail 'Express Green' livery, similar in appearance to a GWR King Class locomotive.
No.84 ‘Crowborough’ a Terrier Class engine finished in Stroudley's ‘Improved Engine Green’.
No.135 ‘Anna’ a distinctive tram engine was hauling a demonstration freight train.

    I love these mini trains. It was memorable riding on one at the Tropical Fruit World here on the Gold Coast. 🤩 A captivating watch Tim! And you can always buy plants at the garden centre next door.🥰💖🤗 Loads of fun for children and grown men and women children alike. 😄🚂🚃🚃🚃🚃🚃

    Another wonderful video, Tim, and what a bit of luck turning up at the right time! I enjoyed it particularly because it's in my far-off home of Sussex, and because my son, currently living in Billingshurst, used to manage that garden centre many years ago. He's now general manager of Newbridge Nurseries, up the road near Horsham, but sadly they don't have a similar attraction to offer.

    Hello Tim! A feast for the eyes, I have never seen this small train (26 cm) track. Unbelievable what the little things pull away 👍. I think I know this man at. min. 15:53. Best regards from Hans and Cheers 🍻🇦

    Hi Tim - I took my grandson there for the first time about two months ago, he will be 2 in a weeks time. He was a little bemused by it I think although he loves trains and cannot get enough of Thomas the Tank Engine on YouTube. Son has got him a wooden train set for his birthday as he is so into it. When we went there were only two trains running, nothing like on this video. So were they there for this special occasion only or are they there permanently? Its a cracking railway and will certainly be taking him back there aswell as the Stansted Park light Railway which has been extended aswell. Brilliant video as usual Tim. Regards Chris
