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.
Very different miniature railway. Very nice set up, nice section of locomotives, and very freindly staff.
Fantastic little line with very unique locos, and a wonderfully friendly team working all throughout
Lovely little railway going through orchards. Interesting engines, friendly helpful staff. Would recommend. Also do Santa Specials in December.
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 […]
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 […]
Our Thumper stopped working passenger services many years ago, after having a few face lifts that left it with no body for quite a few years. Even though it does not pull passengers this loco is currently one of the most useful locos at the railway. As it is a fully working, mobile power generator […]
Before Lady Fiona came to FMR it was part of the private collection owned by Peter Howard at Stoneleigh House 10 1/4″ Railway. Lady Fiona was re-gauged to 9″ for FMR and has since been one of the hardest working Locos at FMR and after almost 14 years of running, she is still a regular […]
An offer that could not refused. When this chassis for a 9 ½ Adams locomotive came up for sale our CME could not resist it. There is loads of work to do on this locomotive as you can see in the picture, but when it is done, it will be a sight to behold. The […]
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 […]
Our 1st Class 35 Hymek, number D7043 arrived at the railway its early days at the Norton Ash Garden Centre. During its time at Norton Ash and a few years at Brogdale Farm this loco regularly hauled our passenger’s services. Our drivers loved its unique quirks and the comfy ride it offered. However, not long […]
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 […]
