About

The Scarborough North Bay Railway is a charming miniature railway that winds through the historic Northstead Manor Gardens, linking Peasholm Park with the Sea Life Centre at Scalby Mills. Operated on a 2‑inch gauge track, visitors can ride aboard the iconic Neptune locomotive—a thriving diesel‑hydraulic engine built in 1931 by Hudswell Clarke and believed to be the world’s oldest operational diesel‑hydraulic locomotive. The railway’s gentle gradients and picturesque scenery make it a relaxed, family‑friendly attraction that celebrates railway heritage in a scenic seaside setting. Open daily from 10:30 am to 5:00 pm (with seasonal variations), the North Bay Railway offers themed rides, scenic views, and nearby cafés, delivering a memorable and accessible experience for train enthusiasts and casual tourists alike.
