Great little place, tucked out the way a little from the main stretch of shops but it is there. To say the model is over 50 years old it is still in a great working order and has so much detail. By my count there was over a dozen different model trains running on this track in various places, stopping and starting as other trains run by. A couple of the interactive buttons didn't seem to work (or I couldn't see what they did) which is a shame but the owner did say they are working to update the model so with any luck these will be back working soon. Dogs are allowed in which is a bonus (they kept watching some of the trains) and ticket price is reasonable, £5 for an adult. I spent about 40 minutes there watching the models, a quick trip to the shop and I also have some local rolling stock and a new loco for my collection. Worth a visit for sure and we need to keep these places going as they seem to be harder to find.

We visited early march 2023 but venue was closed. We were invited in by the owner for free and had a great time seeing the railway models working. If you are visiting Mevagissy do visit the model railway, the working models and the model display cases are great and are well worth the visit. Thankyou for the free viewing. Ken/linda Freeland

An impressive amount of detail in all of the model scenes. Not a massive place but very nicely done. It will probably take you half an hour to 45 minutes to go around. We loved the Alpine scene towards the end of the exhibit.

Great for young kids who love trains. Displays were great and there were buttons to press.
