Harlington Locomotive Society, Miniature railway in Harlington, United Kingdom.
The Harlington Locomotive Society operates a half-mile dual-gauge track through an orchard, featuring both 5-inch and 3.5-inch gauge rails for miniature locomotives.
The railway's signaling system, implemented in the 1950s, utilizes wheel weight to trigger signals along the track, demonstrating early automation in miniature railways.
The society maintains strong connections with local engineering heritage, reflecting the industrial past of companies like HMV, EMI, and Fairey Aviation in the area.
Visitors can experience train rides on the second and fourth Sundays from April to October, following a figure-eight route through the orchard grounds.
The facility includes powered steaming bays, a brick station, signal box, and workshop areas where members maintain and operate various miniature locomotives.
