Coalyard Miniature Railway
The Coalyard Miniature Railway, opened in 1988, and relayed in 1990 as a gauge railway, operates in the grounds of the Severn Valley Railway’s Kidderminster Town Station.〔 Its name is derived from a coal merchant business which operated alongside Kidderminster Town Station until 2004.
==History==
The railway started as of dual gauge track comprising gauge rails laid within gauge rails,〔 to permit operation of both a King Class Locomotive and a Hall class locomotive.〔 The track was unusual in being constructed of continuously welded rails with "dummy" fishplates.〔
In 1990 a new gauge aluminium track was laid and then gradually extended until it reached the far end of the Kidderminster Town Station car park. The original line was then removed, making space for a new footpath from the Severn Valley Railway car park to the station. The line originally used wooden sleepers but when these wore out they were then replaced with plastic sleepers.〔
The Railway is long〔(MINOR RAILWAYS online )〕 and runs alongside the Severn Valley Railway platforms and past the water column, where one can see many of the Severn Valley's fleet of locomotives. It usually operates with petrol or battery powered locomotives; steam is generally used only during Severn Valley special events. The coaching stock is a mixture of sit astride and sit in coaches. Goods vehicles include a rake of narrow gauge wagons that are to scale and some maintenance trucks that are not to scale.
