THE HISTORY OF THE RAILWAY

The railway started life on the Isle of Sheppey as the Leysdown Coastal Railway in 1985 with Robin as the only loco and Natalie and Daisy as rolling stock. It ran for 2 years until the storm  of 1987 which severely damaged it and forced its closure . Some of the line can still be seen today

The line then found a new home at  Norton Ash Garden Centre Nr Faversham as the Norton Ash Miniature Railway and run a push-pull service round some of the Garden Centre. Two new loco's were added to the roster at this time. One a semi scale model of a Class 35 Diesel Hydraulic ''Hymek'', and the other Bertie a freelance design battery electric loco more rolling stock was also acquired. Unfortunately . After a few years it was asked to leave. Some of the rolling stock still has N.A.M.R markings

After looking round for some time for a new home, the railway moved to  Brogdale Farm, Brogdale Road Faversham and become Faversham Miniature Railway in 2000, where we still are today. The Railway now has 9 locos and a quantity of rolling stock Having started with a short price of track the first year, the line grow to a Quarter of a mile into the Orchards of Brogdale.  This year we have embarked on a major track extension programme which will significantly enhance the railway when completed

In 2005 the Faversham Miniature Railway Society was formed to safeguard the future of Railway.

And Robin, the loco that started it all, is still with the Railway, but is now privately owned. He is only run on special occasion
