PROSPECT Park Miniature Railway is open to the public for its monthly open day on Sunday, April 3.

The railway features two tracks which are fully traversable with numerous miniature rideable locomotives.

Both routes are more than 1000ft long, and one features full signalling, multi-gauge tracks.

Run by the Reading Society of Model Engineers, the miniature railway has been at its current site in Prospect Park for more than 40 years.

The event is open to all ages, and now features a new ride ticketing system.

Refreshments will also be made available.
