North Tyneside Light Railway
Help us to complete the North Tyneside Light Railway! We're building a 7 1/4" gauge passenger carrying railway within the grounds of the Stephenson Steam Railway Museum.
Story
The North Tyneside Steam Railway Association is thrilled to introduce our 7¼" miniature railway project!
The miniature railway will feature:
Two charming new stations
Over 140 metres of track
Miniature train rides on operating days throughout the year
Redeveloped picnic area
With a successful public launch of the project in the past and a battery loco arriving to join resident steam loco Loki, we now look towards the future. An area of the site has been kindly cleared by volunteers to allow us to plan out one of the future station sites, and whilst we still have a fair bit to do - we're on track for a new experience at North Tyneside Steam Railway!
Having purchased all of the track and acquired 3 locomotives and 2 passenger carriages, we now need to purchase:
40 tons of ballast
Fencing materials
Materials to build an engine and carriage shed
Please consider making a donation to help us towards our goal of opening the railway during Easter 2025.
