Steam trains and added attractions most Sundays.

Steam train rides in genuine Victorian 4-wheel coaches. Plus the Mid- Suffolk Light Railway’s summer programme has an added attraction almost every Sunday including classic and vintage vehicles and a model railway exhibition.
Each day the railway is open. Visitors can enjoy train rides as many times as they like. All the railway and museum facilities – shop, café, Restoration Shed visits and real ale bar – will be open too.
Middy steam locomotives are often joined by Heritage Railway Association award winning Fowler Shredded Wheat shunter giving shunting demonstrations. This pretty little engine may be diesel powered, but it has a copper capped exhaust chimney which gives it a very steam like effect.
