East Herts Miniature Railway
==General Info==
The East Herts Miniature Railway (EHMR) is situated behind Van Hage Garden Centre in Great Amwell near Ware, Hertfordshire.
It opened in 1978 〔http://www.pjseng.co.uk/HTML%20Files/ehmr.htm〕 and by 2006 it had carried 1 million passengers.〔http://www.ehmr.co.uk〕 It is open Saturdays 11:00–17:00 and Sundays & Public Holidays 11:00–16:30. Its primary purpose is to give mainly steam-hauled train rides to the general public on a gauge track. £25,000 has been donated to Amwell View School from the EHMR.
The current length of the track is around 1/4 of a mile and the journey time is 3.5 minutes. There are 4 steam locos, 2 petrol hydraulic and 1 battery electric belonging to the company which are in regular use. The site comprises a station with canopy and booking office, bridge, engine shed, tunnel, turntable, signal box (with ex London Underground westinghouse 'B' style lever frame from Hyde Park Corner),〔http://www.wbsframe.mste.co.uk/public/Armwell_Junction.html〕 steaming bays, level crossing, water tower and workshop. Colour light signals and electro-pneumatic points operate every time the railway operates and are in the process of being computerised so that the system can be used without a human signaller required. A manual override function is included.
