Summerfields Miniature Railways

General information

Summerfields Miniature Railways - open to the public some Sundays, Bank Holidays and some Wednesdays during school holidays (see our website for dates).

The Summerfields Railways have been built by the Bedford Model Engineering Society as a place for members to run their locos. It is actually three railways all linked together, Summerfields, Winterfield and Springfield. On certain days of the year we open our railway to the public so that you can come along and see what we do. For a small fare you can take a trip on our steam or diesel service around any of our three railways. We also have occasional rides behind traction engines. Its all great fun for kids and adults seem to love it too!

The railway is the public face of the hobby, and operates several times a year, in fine weather to the immense satisfaction of lots of children, (and say it not to a lot of dads and grandfathers who cant resist taking a ride).

We now have a purpose built log cabin style building which forms our clubroom for our evening meetings. This building also provides for our Station Buffet on public running days.

Please visit our website if you are interested in becoming a member.

You do not have to be a member to visit on one of our public open days.
