The Peacock Railway are running trains for the public on Sunday 4 August from 12pm, with more dates set for later this year.

Trains are run by the members of the South Cheshire Model Engineering Society on their premises behind The Peacock Inn on Crewe Road, Willaston.

Their entrance is at the back of the car park, down a roadway.

The Gauge 1 railway was officially opened earlier this July, by the Mayor of Nantwich, councillor Stuart Bostock (Jonathan White).

There will be miniature-gauge train rides on their 5-inch railway track, which is almost a quarter of a mile in length.

Rides are £1 for two laps of the railway to raise vital funds for the Society. 

There will also be a demonstration of Gauge 1 (45mm) trains on the society's newly-constructed raised track, believed to be the largest Gauge 1 layout in the North West.

The Gauge 1 railway was officially opened earlier this July, by the Mayor of Nantwich, councillor Stuart Bostock.

Refreshments, served by Society volunteers, will be available to purchase in the clubhouse.

  • Sunday 1 September
  • Sunday 8 September (charity day for Crewe RSPCA in conjunction with The Peacock Inn)
  • Sunday 6 October. More dates could be added
