Newby Hall Miniature Railway 10 ¼ inch

The Newby Hall Miniature Railway first opened in 1971, originally an end to end line, built by Cromar White, running in the grounds of Newby Hall Estate near Ripon. The line now extended, runs parallel to the River Ure in the shape of a dumb-bell loop. The station ‘Newby Hall’ is situated in the middle of the line and has a turntable and engine shed. Trains depart from here, to the first loop which has a tunnel. The train then goes back through the station onto the second loop, in which it crosses a bridge over the River Ure, and past nearby the Hall, on return to the station. Locomotives used on the railway are two Severn Lamb Western gas locomotives or a Battison built ‘Royal Scot’ which has run here since the line begun, and has been recently overhauled.
