Шаблон:Use dmy datesШаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox heritage railway The Coalyard Miniature Railway, opened in 1988,[1] and relaid in 1990 as a Шаблон:Track gauge gauge railway, operates in the grounds of the Severn Valley Railway’s Kidderminster Town Station.[1]

History

The railway started as Шаблон:Convert of dual gauge track comprising Шаблон:Track gauge gauge rails laid within Шаблон:Track gauge gauge rails,[1] to permit operation of both a Шаблон:Track gauge King Class Locomotive and a Шаблон:Track gauge Hall class locomotive.[1] The track was unusual in being constructed of continuously welded rails.[1]

In 1990 a new Шаблон:Track gauge 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 replaced with plastic sleepers.[1]

The Railway is Шаблон:Convert long[2] 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.
