FROM PLANES TO TRAINS - AND THEN TO BUSES!

The Wythall Miniature Railway is a triple gauge ride-on railway situated within the grounds of Transport Museum Wythall in Worcestershire.

Celebrating its 25th anniversary on the site in 2022, it is owned and operated by the Elmdon Model Engineering Society, which was originally formed by a group of model engineers in the early 1980s.

It now operates on a fully-landscaped site among trees, lawns, and a picnic area, and includes a tunnel, a viaduct and two stations, plus a shed area and turntable.

Its beginnings grew from a number of like-minded model engineering after Sandwell College that a number were attending. This 4in-scale narrow gauge Hunslet 0-4-0 is still owned and run by the society, and continues to be the mainstay of the society fleet on running days.
