Who Operates Wascoe Siding Miniature Railway?

Wascoe Siding Miniature Railway is run by passionate members of the Blue Mountains Railway Society, a not for profit society of passionate train enthusiasts who are interested in the construction and operation of miniature locomotives. Wascoe Siding was established in 1966 and the name commemorates the early name of Glenbrook.

When Is Wascoe Siding Open?

Wascoe Siding is open on the first Sunday of the month from February to December, from 10am – 3pm.

Please remember to always wear fully enclosed shoes! No thongs or sandals allowed.

What To Expect at Wascoe Siding Miniature Railway

Passengers board the miniature train at the station and complete three laps of the park, including two laps through the tunnel, before returning to the station. If you are keen, you may then rejoin the queue for another ride!

There is both an inner and an outer track, 21 sets of points, fully operational colour light signals, a large marshaling yard and an operational turntable.

Members operate their own locomotives, all fully certified for public passenger operation. Some are steam engines, some diesel and some electric.
