I went to the Statfold Barn Railway today just out side Tamworth. Hadn’t come across it until very recently and went today for their Ale and Rail weekend. Got to say I was very impressed and will be going back again! Other half and my little lad loved it too!
I was very surprised as to how big it was for a private collection, and also how professional it all seemed to be, nice grounds, facilities, all the locos and rolling stock etc turned out beautifully, a real credit to the staff there!
We will be going back again for a better look around that’s for sure as we only had a few hours there, we did get to ride on the bus which was novel, and the tram too.
My only request would have been to have one or two of the diesels also out running, but there was lots of steam engines running around to keep your attention that’s for sure.... and I have a soft spot for a diesel,
