Fun day at a Model Train track

With a little bellow of dark grey steam and the pulling of the steam train whistle, the little trains with names like Daniel, Julius and Halley Flyer with their little wagons full of small children and the odd parent, start their chug chug chug down the miniature railway circuit of approximately 900 metres of multi-gauge track which includes a tunnel, bridges, points, around a 2.5 hectare site situated in park with lovely green grass and shady trees, just outside Pietermaritzburg, KZN.

The Pietermarizburg Model Engineering Society encourages people to become involved in steam specifically and generally to preserve both the engines and machines of yesteryear, and the skills that are associated with them, but are fast disappearing in our modern high tech world.

Here they build miniuatre replicas of larger scale locomotives etc. There is a great emphasis on steam preservation.

Every first Sunday of the month it is open to the public when you can buy tickets to enjoy rides on these perfect little trains and enjoy a day out with the kids.
