In my attempt to find a picture of the station canopy, I came across some interesting pics of PWH on Google. So this thread can be a place to share any interesting pics of the park that we find on the interwebs. I'll start with this gem:
Just look at the size of the train, and there's 3 of them! It's pretty sad to think that we now only have 1 train, with just 3 or 4 carriages.

Yep the mini railway is shot, I don't mind having the one train running but it needs more carriages, plus there's very little to see in those woods theses days.

The miniature railway was cracking in the early days. Great replica trains like the Amtrak one and loads of carriages. Id like to see a new train and the station made a bit more magical at some point.
Yeah there obviously isn't a need for multiple trains anymore, but it would be nice to see more carriages, and maybe more theming around the station. IIRC them burgundy carriages were never actually used, but to me they looked cool just sitting there. (I am a bit of a train geek though...)
The Miniature railway used to be a major attraction at the park, now it just feels like a run down minor attraction that nobody really cares about. It doesn't even have a ride sign!
I would love to see good money spent on sprucing up the station area, making it like a real miniature railway, with geeky train stuff, like a garage with a spare locomotive poking out and some real signals. Maybe even a stats board showing the history of the ride. It has so much potential, but it's all wasted at the moment.
