The Eaton Park Miniature Railway (EPMR) is situated in Eaton Park, in Norwich, Norfolk.
Construction began in 1957 and the 365 foot loop of elevated 3.5 and 5 inch gauge track opened in May 1960, with public being carried on Summer Sundays. In the 1970s the line was extended to 955 feet.[1] In 2004 a second ground level line, of mixed 5 and 7.25 inch gauge, was constructed, and there is now over 1 kilometre of track on the site.[2] In February 2013 work started on a tunnel, designed to also serve as a secure trolley shed.[3]
Weather permitting, the railway is open to the public every Sunday from Easter to the end September.[4]
