They certainly have a great selection of trains, but there were only one or two you could go into and you could not really see into most of them. If you like walking around looking at the outside of trains, then you will probably enjoy it. But, while I like trains I am not an expert and after awhile I... more

It doesn't get any better than this if you like trains, a wonderful day or half day out for nothing!!! Plenty to keep young and old amused for hours, from the Hogwart's Express to Mallard. more
