Beech Hurst Park Miniature Railway 2019

Visited the Sussex Miniature Locomotive Society’s raised level track at Beech Hurst Park, Haywards Heath, West Sussex on Saturday 13th April 2019. This is triple gauge consisting of 5, 2 1/2 and 3 1/2 inch gauge, although all locomotives running today were on the 5 inch rails. Unfortunately I wasn’t in a position to take details of all the locos in operation but there was a Class 419 Motor Luggage Van in BR blue and grey, a Class 08 in BR black, a Metropolitan electric loco, a Class 73 called The Royal Alex in Pullman livery (almost certainly by Maxitrak) and one beautiful steam loco. The journey is a generous ride, probably about a mile in length and includes two tunnels, one very long, and quite rare for this gauge I would think. The Society has a website and Facebook page. Beech Hurst Park is easily accessible by road, just 10 minutes drive from the A23 and is a 15 minute walk from Haywards Heath railway station on the London to Brighton Line.

Nice video Graham. Beech Hurst is a good Railway. I’m meaning to go back there. It also has some great locomotives!

Thanks Sam, yes lovely railway, didn’t realise it was as extensive as that, certainly a nice club by the seem of things. Maybe see you at Riley’s next week.

Nice one Graham. Larry has been there, and I think some of their members have been to Isfield.

Thanks Mick, yes I believe you’re right. Seem to think Larry had a drive of the Class 419 Motor Luggage Van, shown in my video, on the day of his visit.
