West Ryde Miniature Railway
15/12/2018 @ 1:30 pm - 4:30 pm

The Sydney Live Steam Locomotive Society was formed in 1948 on its present site. It is located on the corner of Anthony Rd and Betts St behind West Ryde shopping centre and opens on the THIRD Saturday afternoon of each month from 1.30pm to around 4.30pm.

The Society has three miniature railways on which offer rides on trains hauled by miniature steam locomotives. The park grounds are a popular location for children’s birthday parties or small group afternoon gatherings. For the enthusiast, it is a good spot to just lie back and watch those steam trains work hard pulling heavily loaded passenger trains!

There is a kiosk which sells drinks, ice cream, cakes, chips, etc. Entry is $4 for adults and $2 for children. Rides are $2 each for all ages.
