Bekonscot Light Railway 7 ¼ inch 

7.25" gauge estate railway giving rides at the site of the World's oldest model village. Interesting and convoluted out-and-back route with an inverted balloon loop, triangle junction, figure-of-8 and long spur to the terminus. It is operated as a minimum/narrow gauge line rather than a miniature railway. Opened in 2001, the BLR carries over 70,000 paying passengers annually. The line was extended to its current length during the winter of 2006/7 with full landscaping of the new route completed in 2007/8.
