HOLLYCOMBE Steam in the Country welcomes members and friends of the West Surrey Model Traction Engine Club this coming weekend, as close to 30 miniature traction engines, from two inch to six inch scale, will parade along the pathways for the annual steam in miniature gathering.

“Steam in miniature is a fun weekend,” said Hollycombe trustee Brian Gooding.

“Visitors love to get up close to the miniature steamies, and their owners are very good at explaining how the engines operate to children.

“There are also wonderful photographic opportunities with afternoon line-ups of the miniatures alongside the railway track.”

Other highlights of the weekend will be the continuing display of bluebells, flowering azaleas on the azalea walk, and Hollycombe’s fairground and railways, which will also be open throughout the event.
