Off the Roxbourne Rails Traditional Cache
LinseyG: Just had a brilliant conversation with the Model Engineers - going to replace this cache with a sidetracked as that seems more appropriate now.
No sign of any TB's in the cache though :-(

A regular cache near a miniture railway!
In 1975, after two years of correspondence with Harrow Council, a tentative offer was made to the The Harrow & Wembley Society of Model Engineers for a site in Roxbourne Park, near Eastcote for the siting of a miniature railway line. It was fortunate that the Council had decided to develop a former rubbish tip as an extension to an existing recreation ground. The Council agreed to excavate the site and to prepare the foundations for a railway track, to erect a garage building for use as a workshop and storage, and to lay on water and electricity services. Hard work by all concerned resulted in 725 feet of track in place by late October 1976.
You can ride on one of the many steam trains on every Sunday afternoon from around 2:30pm until 5pm (or dusk in winter) Rides cost just 50 pence!
