triang miniature train

After a break of over 60 years trains will run once more at Plumpton Station the home of The Pot Place garden centre & tea room just north of Penrith.

Having recently acquired a rare original Triang Minic Narrow Gauge train and track the team at The Pot Place have restored it to its former glory with the aim of offering small children the chance to ride a miniature railway.

The trains were built between 1963 to 1965 and are modelled on the London to Paris ‘Golden Arrow’ locomotives of the day. Most were installed in holiday camps but with less than 100 ever made and fewer than 10 left working it is a rare example indeed.

So as from Good Friday 10th April the train will run daily over weekends, bank holidays and school holidays. The Pot Place garden centre is located just off the A6 - 5 miles north of Penrith and is open 7 days a week 10am - 4pm.
