The Abbeydale Miniature Railway

Our 5" and 7¼" gauge ground level track is fully signalled and interlocked for added interest and passenger safety.

Our elevated track caters for almost every gauge from 0 up to 7¼". All carriages are 7¼" gauge for stability.

We have a dual gauge 32mm/45mm  'Garden Railway' for steam or battery powered locos.

Visiting model engineers are warmly welcomed. Appropriate public liability insurance is needed. If bringing a steam loco or traction engine, a current boiler certificate is required. Passenger rolling stock is vacuum braked. Public running is intensive so you may prefer to visit on one of our club only days. Please contact us first if you intend visiting. 

Visitors please note:- our tracks have a 30ft minimum radius so may not be suitable for certain locomotives.

PUBLIC RUNNING TIMETABLE - 2010
