Echills Wood Miniature Railway(EWR) at Kingsbury Water Park-(02/10/2011):
A busy end of season day on this popular miniature railway here in the 'Heart of England'. The unseasonal good weather brought out the families & as the queues got bigger.... more trains kept appearing just like at 'Clapham Junction'!!
The staff seemed to be enjoying their day too despite the intensive schedule.

Echills Wood Railway - Standard Gauge Weekend 2019:
This 7.25 gauge railway is a major attraction located within the Kingsbury Water Park in North Warwickshire and close to the M42 Motorway on the edge of the Birmingham Conurbation.
This very popular annual event exhibits steam and diesel locomotives of classes & Types which operated on standard gauge lines (of Four foot eight & half inches between rails!!) of the UK & elsewhere.
The first two days (Friday & Saturday) are for owners, friends & families to enjoy themselves 'playing trains' (In the nicest possible way) which the public can also enjoy from lineside paths or on Sunday only can experience rides behind these masterpieces of miniature engineering icons.
It was great to catch up with many friends and familiar faces when I filmed this on Saturday (13th July) and also to spend time with fellow YouTuber Alan Parr (Parsound).

THE BEAUTIFUL ECHILLS WOOD RAILWAY NARROW GAUGE EVENT 2019
On Saturday 14th September the light at Echills Wood Railway for the annual Narrow Gauge Event was a photographer's dream. I went along to shoot this feast of models which, as they were based on 71/4 track gauge, looked much bigger than their mainline equivalents. I am most grateful to EWR Society for the facilities provided for the making of this video.
Visit Echills Wood Railway in the Kingsbury Water Park, West Midlands, B76 0DY. (Not far from The Belfry Golf Centre) You'll be in for a treat.
Echills Wood Railway at Far Leys Station (26/04/2015):
Another look at the EWR in Kingsbury Water Park in North Warwickshire. Featuring steam & diesel loco's arriving & departing from Far Leys Station which is on the 'return loop' or top end of this mile long 7.25 guage circuit. A very enjoyable ride in lovely woodland scenery, but I'm biased as I am a volunteer member & this video was done during my 'station duties' which might explain the randomness of shots.

Echills Wood Railway - Standard Gauge Weekend 2016:
Again, this 7.25 gauge railway host it's annual 'Standard Gauge' extravaganza of miniature engineering over a three day weekend.
Although a member I was only able to spend a few hours there today filming activities within and around the loco shed area and nearby Harvesters Station & it's approaches. Sufficient I hope to show just a small selection of locomotives in operation, apart from EWR members, many owners travel considerable distances to enjoy this event & to enjoy themselves with family & friends. Speaking of friends, it was good to catch up with friends & fellow YouTubers Chris & Rosie Woolston (Wooltman) and fellow EWR friends not seen for a while.
