East Herts Miniature Railway 2024 Spring Gala. A 7 1/4 Inch Railway in Hertfordshire.

I again had the pleasure of visiting the East Herts Miniature railway at the weekend, however this time for their Spring 2024 gala with visiting locos, and three in steam.
A wonderful set up and very friendly people. Run by volunteers and raising funds for local charities, A miniature railway not to be missed, especially with the family.
Located within a garden centre, it makes a lovely afternoon if you are in the area.
I have done my best to avoid filming people and conversations but inevitably at an event like this it is so difficult to avoid, so if there are any objections please get in touch with the time in the video and I will do my best to edit.
If you enjoy the video, please give it a thumbs up and please check out the channel and if you like what you see please consider subscribing.

Great fun by look of it

The garden centre is good as well, we had a great lunch in there, well worth the 1.5 hr drive.

What a lovely garden setting and great miniature trains. My grandfather grew up not that far away in Essex near Great Leigh’s. He migrated to Australia in 1913 and was always interested in railways - English and Australian.

It really is a wonderful set up! and the locos there on the gala were something very special. I am not very far away from Gt leighs in my back yard so to speak.

Looks great and that guy in the signal box must have nerves of steel, one screw-up, seeing how fast they were running, and insurance costs go up.

[@dustyshelfcollectables]

It was all relaxed and in control, very professionally run and the locos, to be fair weren't running very fast for the size of the track and only on loco moving at a time generally. Insurance is an issue for all railway so would feel confident in their very elaborate (for a miniature railway) control system.

Thank you for visiting us! Even with some last minute drop outs we managed to do a good weekend! Although after a day setting up and 3 days driving i was knackered at the end!

[@dustyshelfcollectables]

Thank you for a wonderful Afternoon! Love the railway, just a bit to far away to visit often!

I live in north Wales! But I've been involved since an early teenager but it's worth coming back several times a year!
