Amerton Railway Workshop & Engine Shed

Amerton Railway Workshop and Engine Shed is a narrow gauge museum on a 2-foot track in Stafford that operates both steam and diesel locomotives. The site displays a collection of working vehicles that were originally built or used in Staffordshire, spanning different eras of railway history.

Work on the railway started in 1990 on the grounds of Amerton Working Farm, with trains first running in 1992. The project took about a decade to complete the full circuit of track.

The railway is run by a dedicated volunteer community that takes pride in maintaining these machines and sharing them with visitors. You can see this passion reflected in the care taken with every detail of the operations.

Trains run throughout the year on published schedules, with both steam and diesel locomotives operating at different times of year. Special themed train rides are offered during holidays and seasonal events.

The collection includes the locomotive Isabel from 1897 and Lorna Doone from 1922, preserved alongside nine RNAD wagons that represent local industrial heritage. These machines showcase technologies that were used across Staffordshire over different decades.
