Sadly, and predictably, the Hambleton Valley Miniature Railway won't be operating during the COVID-19 outbreak - especially as the Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway is currently closed. However, the opportunity will be taken to spruce up the line in readiness for when we can re-open. More pictures to follow tomorrow of the progress at 'Beckside Station' and turntable, all being well... Stay safe everyone!

The table has turned! - in preparation for the 2020 season.
