  1. A miniature passenger carrying railway operated by "Spenborough Model & Experimental Engineers Ltd" in Royds Park, Eddercliffe, Cleckheaton BD19 5LL

    The Spenborough Model Engineers have progressively improved the facilities and now have a 2 track railway with tunnel, Clubhouse/cafe, Workshop, Toilet block with disabled facilities and car park as well as all the usual facilities for storage of tools and running stock.

    The society owns several steam engines and carriages for members use and when the railway is open to the public we also have a special carriage for carrying wheelchairs with friends as well (please ask and we will put it in operation so that everyone can enjoy the ride).
