Railworld

A large Wildlife Haven and habitat creation project and steam engines in the process of restoration.

For children of all ages we have a 140-tonne Danish Pacific 996 steam engine in the process of restoration, RTV-31 the worlds first 100MPH hover train, a large garden railway, an amazing 7 track OO gauge model railway and other smaller interactive model railways to enjoy.

Children receive an activity pack on arrival.

There is also an exhibition concerning NVR's Night Mail Project, the Danish Pacific 996 and RTV31. Visitors will see models and excavations of the 1885 LNWR locomotive shed that formally occupied Railworlds south site.

In the Globe Hall films are shown throughout the day, focusing on current wildlife and environmental issues, and local steam railway history.

Railworld and the Wildlife Haven is an award winning volunteer project that spans both sides of the River Nene next to the Peterborough Nene Valley Railway Station.
