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.
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.
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.
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.
Coming Soon… Our Class 08 is currently under construction and is expected to see service in 2017. This one of a kind custom build locomotive will be the only 9” Gauge Class 08 in the world and will be equipped with a few bells and whistles to make it even more unique. When it comes […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
In 2016 this wonderful machine came into service, officially taking its first passenger turn in June. The loco has a lot of history behind it, with some parts being over 45 years old. The chassis was originally purchased from a local private line alongside No. 2 Robin by a few of our Society Members. Unfortunately […]
Our Red Shunter, commonly known as No. 5 holds a special place in the hearts of the volunteers that get to drive her. This loco has the power and speed you expect from our big engines, but even with this she can be a challenge for the inexperienced driver. No. 5 is a fickle girl […]
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 you say “I was expecting a 9F”, through no fault of her own this little Maxitrax loco earnt the nick name “9F”. So, for those expecting to see a 9” 9F we apologise. This little loco was once a regular visitor to the mainline, but as the line grew and more passengers arrived every […]
