    Very disappointing. I politely asked to see the engines in the sheds that were not operating but was told not possible due to health and safety. The only narrow gauge railway in the country I’ve come across that have this attitude. Other railways welcome enthusiasts. Puts me off visiting again which is a shame as it’s a nice setting
