Faversham Miniature Railway, is a truly unique experience, as it is the only 9″ Gauge Railway in the UK open to the public.
Open every Sunday from March until the end of December, we offer a unique and relaxing way to see the Orchards at Brogdale Farm throughout the seasons.
My heartfelt thanks, to the talented volunteers at Brogdale for achieving what was quite simply one of the finest Heywood visits in my experience & one that will be surely very hard to match, let alone top, for a very long time.
Lovely little railway going through orchards. Interesting engines, friendly helpful staff. Would recommend. Also do Santa Specials in December.
Fantastic little line with very unique locos, and a wonderfully friendly team working all throughout
Very different miniature railway. Very nice set up, nice section of locomotives, and very freindly staff.
Lovely place to visit. Lots of fun. We have enjoyed visiting and riding on the train many times over the years my eldist is now 10 and my youngest 15 months and shall be bringing him again soon for a ride.
The Railway is Owned, Operated and Maintained by the volunteers of the Faversham Miniature Railway Society.
Our members can quite often be found around the railway working hard to maintain a reliable service for the enthusiasts and families who visit the railway every weekend.
Every Locomotive or peice of rolling stock has had to be customised or built so that it can run on our line. This means everything you see riding our rails is a one of a kind, with most of the Locomotives and Stock being the only ones of their kind in the world.
OK, yes, we know, it doesn’t really look much like a Class 03, for starters it doesn’t have any rods. This is why we officially call it No.6 Our Class 03 Look-a-like. This loco has seen many iterations and has been body swapped more times than we can remember. However, since it came back into […]
Jasmine is a re-gauged Maxitrax Simplicity 2. This little loco is rarely seen on the railway these days as its size and power is unable take the strain of our little railway. If you’re lucky you may see her owner taking her for a spin from time to time and she can often be seen […]
Built in house by our CME, this locomotive, required special care and attention when driving and only experienced members of the railway where trained to drive her. Being built to represent a narrow-gauge locomotive she was originally in a 2-4-2 configuration with both the front and rear axels allowed to move freely. Power was delivered […]
Purchased from Barnards Miniature Railway as a long-term project, this Class 35 Hymek has seen better days. This loco was originally dissembled before being sold in peace’s to Barnards Miniature Railway, who had originally planned to rebuild it an add it to their existing fleet of Mardyke locomotives. Unfortunately, after years of waiting patiently there […]
The latest powerhouse to join the family. Built in house by 3 of the Faversham Miniature Railway Society volunteers, this machine is based on its full-size counterpart 58037, which left a mark on the railways CME after stumbling upon it at work one day. Just like our Class 31 this was built in house from […]
Robin is the oldest locomotive at FMR and has through different owners been seen in many different forms. Two of the founding members of the Faversham Miniature Railway Society saved this amazing little loco from being sent to America, when she went up for sale in the early 80’s. Robin was a huge crowd pleaser […]
The latest loco to touch down on FMR Steel is the “Thumper”. This is a classically styled minimal loco, running a 2HP Petrol Paraffin Lister Engine. The Thumper has now been regauged from 10 1/4 to 9″ after leaving its previous home on the Birchley Miniature Railway in Biddenden. It is intended that the Thumper […]
Bertie is the only fully electric locomotive at FMR, which make this little chap extremely special, as he is the only loco of this kind and gauge in the world. With a fully enclosed driver’s seat our volunteers always rush to drive Bertie when it’s a bit wet outside. Unfortunately, Bertie has been tucked away […]
