The Moseley Railway Trust
Narrow gauge railways form an important part of our industrial heritage, the most well known application being in the mining industry. However, where ever there was a need to move large volumes of material, a narrow gauge railway could often be found working behind the scenes. Even today modern narrow gauge railways are at work, for example in the construction taking place for the London 2012 Olympics.
The Moseley Railway Trust aims to preserve industrial narrow gauge railway locomotives, rolling stock and other equipment. The trust's collection includes examples from the Steel, Peat, Glass, Water, Brick, Explosives and Sewage Industries. You can view a selection from the MRT's collection in the Heritage Centre museum.
At the Apedale Heritage Centre, the trust is currently working to build a narrow gauge railway which will carry passengers, a museum and workshops. Members of the Trust are on site every Saturday and will be happy to talk about their work. Also look out for special events and open days, where you can see more of the collection and the work in progress.
