Railways

On the site is a fun mini railway which delights children and connects the visitor area to the 2' 6" railway. Also built by volunteers, it has been given the rather glamorous name of the Bangs Galore and Gunpowder Creek Railway.

A Narrow Gauge railway has been built by volunteers which reflects the factory railway that once took dangerous cargo safely from one location to another for processing. It is called the 'Hidden Railway', honouring the top secret nature of the working site. The railway is 2' 6" gauge and has a diesel engine, and cargo wagons converted to carry passengers. You can travel at a small charge close to a mile through woodland to the northern part of the site and back.

Both railways are operated entirely by volunteers and there may be times and days when there is no service.
