Steam trains and added attractions every Sunday.

Steam train rides in genuine Victorian 4-wheel coaches and the Mid- Suffolk Light Railway’s summer programme has an added attraction every Sunday including classic and vintage vehicles and the annual model trains and boats and planes exhibition.
Each day the railway is open. Visitors can enjoy train rides as many times as they like. All the MSLR facilities – Museum, shop, café, Restoration Shed visits and real ale bar will be open too.
Middy steam locomotives are often joined by Heritage Railway Association award winning Shredded Wheat shunter giving shunting demonstrations. This pretty little engine may be diesel powered, but its copper capped exhaust chimney gives it a very steam like effect.
