We are an entirely voluntary run organisation, and there are many areas which require staffing in addition to the obvious need for train crews.  New recruits are always very welcome!

​

Buildings

​

Shed erection, station repairs, retaining walls etc,

​

Cafe

We open on certain Sundays and Wednesdays between Easter and October .

Staff required to serve tea, coffee, soft drinks, pieces of cake, crisps etc. - no cooking required!

​

Gardening & Grass Cutting

​

We have several areas of both grass and "jungle" which need to be kept in good order plus a small flower bed.

Tree pruning - normally undertaken by members who have chain saws - and log fires !!

​

Painting & Decorating

Mainly the application of wood preservative to our various sheds from time to time.

​

Project Work

​

For instance our members have recently built a new petrol / battery loco.

​

Station Staff / Visitor Greeters

​

To welcome our visitors and direct them onto the trains - at busy times we can have 7 trains on the system at any one time with each one holding up to 15 passengers. 

​

Track Gang

​

To check the track for alignment and re-pack ballast as required to ensure a smooth ride.

The site is built on London clay and following long dry (or wet) spells the track is prone to movement.

​

Train Duties

​

We can offer training on petrol and steam locos and you will have to undertake a test before being allowed to carry passengers.
