Important information for our visitors:
Our steam
engine is over 95 years old. Since it is a delicate piece of machinery,
breakdowns may occur. At times it may not be possible to repair the engine
until the next day.
On these occasions service is provided by a historical
diesel locomotive. We also do this in very dry weather conditions.
