Visiting Engines Day 2025

Barnards Miniature Railway, West Horndon, Essex,

A usual event that we host every year. This one-day gala allows visiting steam and diesel locomotives from all over the country to visit our railway and run our trains, alongside our home fleet. With other attractions to add, this is set to be a fantastic event.

A yearly event where we invite visiting locomotives from all across the UK to Barnards to help run the passenger service and operate a number of special trains.

Look out for our heritage freight train with wagons dating back to 1972, Glen Dowd branch line specials, and special trains operated with our fleet of Mardyke locomotives, a firm based up the road in Bulphan with an incredible history of miniature railways.

We are busy organising the locomotives for this event, and will announce the line-up on the run up. Several miniature traction engines and steam lorries will be navigating the site, offering something else to enjoy meandering around.
