The main access to the railway is at Page's Park station and this is a view in the yard as the engines were being gathered for the parade of engines at 17:00 to celebrate 50 years of preservation following the closure of the 2' gauge quarry railway in 1967. The locomotive on the left is Chaloner - a De Winton vertical boiler Welsh quarry locomotive built in 1877, so now 140 years young.
