on Sunday we went along to an open day at the Heath Park Model Railway, run by the Cardiff Model Engineering Society. I’ve been looking at going to this for a few months now but between the open day dates being quite limited and our own busy schedule, this was our first opportunity to give it a try. I’m so glad we did, it was a brilliant day out. 

We travelled to Heath Park on foot. We’re very lucky to live only a half an hour walk away from it but if you want to visit, there are bus stops and a train station fairly nearby. 

On arriving, we paid £1.50 each for entry. The entrance building contained a miniature railway to look at, although we found that the lighting was a little low for good photographs. Pip, amongst lots of other children there, enjoyed watching the trains go round…
