|  7.25" Narrow Gauge Railway at Wolds Way LavenderHaving seen the Narrow Gauge Railways in the sugar cane fields around Cairns in Northern Queensland, Australia many years ago, it was apparrent at the start of developing Wolds Way Lavender that a Narrow Gauge Railway would be the key to getting the freshly cut Lavender from the Lavender Fields to the Lavender Distillery. |  Narrow Gauge Train delivering freshly cut Lavender to the Lavender DistilleryOur train is smaller than those we first saw in Aussie, but is more than capable of pulling the various trucks and carriages that we have!
We carry the freshly cut Lavender from the field into the Lavender Distillery.
We carry the spent Lavender out of the Lavender Distillery once we have extracted the Lavender Essential Oil.
We carry the wood to the Lavender Distillery that we burn to make the steam for the Lavender steam distillation process.

One of the advantages of using the Narrow Gauge Railway is that we have been ablee to keep the Wolds Way Lavender Distillery building smaller in height. If we were using tractors and loaders to bring the Lavender in we would have needed a physically bigger buiding. |
|  Spent Lavender being taken away from the Lavender DistilleryThe Engine we use is a petrol, hydrostatic drive locomotive made by Roanoak Engineering, Devon.
We have a 7.25" Bagnall Steam Locomotive under construction in our own workshops, but with everthing else that is going in it may (will) be sometime!
And finally we have passenger carriages to give train rides. |
