    Any suggestions appreciated

    I have an original brass "Scenic Railway (Southport)Ltd" Registered Office wall plate,and was wondering how much this could be worth selling to for any rail enthusiast collector ?

    Did Southport have a Scenic Railway? You need to get in touch with the local Anti-queing guy. There are a group of enthusiasts on Portland Street.

    It may have been the "old" name for the now Miniature Railway,that runs from Pleasureland to the Peter Pans playground I assume ? ...And have seen some old railway signs on Ebay that are selling for ridiculous prices,and was interested if it was worth selling to a local collector or enthusiast.

    Edited ; As I have just Googled it ;

    Scenic Railway

    Southport Pleasureland (Southport, Merseyside, England, United Kingdom)

    Removed, Operated from <time datetime="1922">1922</time> to <time datetime="1938">1938</time>


    The Scenic Railway and the Mountain Caterpillar Railway were moved to Sutton Great Park and combined to create the Big Dipper.<nav id="head" class="nav" style="position: fixed; left: var(--left); right: var(--right); box-shadow: var(--shadow); top: 0px; height: var(--head-height); overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; background: var(--bg-color); padding: var(--head-padding) calc(var(--pright) + 6px) var(--head-padding) calc(var(--pleft) + 6px); -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><svg viewBox="0 0 32 32" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"></svg>

    It is Southport Pleasureland.
    Where else would the Scenic Railway (Southport)Ltd have been?

    I can see one of my favourite rides “ the flying machine “ that was in Southport before moving to where it sits now as the oldest ride on the pleasure beach.
