Good question. I honestly don't know . A very rough guess would be around 300 but there are issues around definition. I mean we've covered a couple of land trains which I think most real enthusiasts would dispute. Then there are sites like Preston which use a full size engine on a very small section of track. Conversely the Ravenglass and Eskdale has small engines but maintains a regular passenger service over 10 miles . We just cover as many as we can in the relatively short season in which most of them operate.
I enjoy your videos
Thank you. Hope we can continue entertaining you ! M & S
Great video. How many miniature railways are there in the UK?
