The Sweet Pea Rally is an annual event for owners of Sweet Pea locomotives and its variants – Sweet Violet, Sweet William, and Metre Maid. The Rally has been held up and down the country for over 30 years, such is the popularity of these locomotives. In 2025 it will be hosted by the Guildford Model Engineering Society at its site in Stoke Park, Guildford, Surrey, over the weekend of Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th June.
The Sweet Pea Rally will be run on the Society’s dual gauged 3½” / 5” raised track which is 1405ft long, where curves are typically 60ft to 70ft in radius with a short length of 50ft radius, and the dual gauged 5” / 7¼” ground level which is about 990ft long with a minimum radius of 68ft. The raised track incorporates anti-tip rails.
