Eastleigh Lakeside Steam Railway celebrated the Foxhill (Farnborough) Minature Railway and the Surrey Borders and Camberley Railway, with a number of steam locomotives associated with these railways operating.
The Foxhill (Farnborough) Minature Railway was built in 1936 by engineer H. C. S. Bullock as a 10.25 inch test track to demonstrate his locomotives to potential customers. A partnership with wealthy banker Alexander Kinloch put the venture on a commercial footing. The partnership didn't last and Kinloch took over the operation and extended the railway to 1.5 miles and changed the name to the Surrey Borders and Camberley Railway. The onset of WW2 stopped the railway and it never ran again. Nothing of the route remains but it is thought that it ran from what is now the Frimley4 Business Park, across J4 of the M3 and up through Sainsbury's carpark and the Riverside Business Park.
