Station master blows a whistle and one of the miniature steam trains moves off. Various shots of the train travelling through the park.

Narrator points out the "official train spotter" Harry, he looks around the corner to check that it is all clear for the train. Various shots of the train taking tourists around the grounds of the stately home. One of the trains is called "Blanche of Lancaster". Stapleford Park is the home of Lord Gretton (sp?).
