A GROUP of miniature railway enthusiasts is on track to raise hundreds of pounds for victims of the Asian tsunami disaster appeal.
Volunteers from the Teesside Small Gauge Railway at Preston Park, Eaglescliffe, have opened the line to give out-of-season rides on Sundays.
Each passenger is charged 50p, with all proceeds going to the disaster fund.
The railway will operate from 1-3pm every Sunday until March. So far it has raised £145 for the appeal.
Group member Mike Aslin said: "Obviously, we are in the hands of the weather, but the railway proves popular with people of all ages, not just children.
"The first two weekends were very cold, and we had to remove three trees after last weekend's storms, but we will keep going until March and see how much we can raise.
