Last time I visited the Stapleford Park setup, in June
2003, I had been accompanied by a couple of railway friends. It occurred
to me at the time that it was the sort of place my wife might quite like
to visit, with much more than just the railway to look at.
 So
on this very warm June day we headed towards Melton Mowbray (or "Molten
Debris" as a friend used to call it) and Stapleford Park, for a most
enjoyable day's entertainment. I covered the railway reasonably
comprehensively three years ago (check the page for details of the locos,
or have a look at the railway's own web site) - so really, all that's
needed this time is the photos - and a couple of video clips.
And was it the sort of place she'd like to visit? "What did
you like best?"
"The hog roast - oh, and of course the ride on the
train..." 'Nuff said!
