Hastings Miniature Railway, Miniature railway on the seafront in Hastings, England
The 260mm gauge railway stretches over 600 yards along the Hastings beach, connecting Rock-a-Nore station to Marine Parade terminal.
In 1948, Captain Howey relocated his miniature locomotives from St Leonards-on-Sea to Hastings, establishing the railway with Ian Allan and Jim Hughes.
The railway represents a traditional British seaside entertainment that has maintained its original character since the post-war tourism development.
The railway operates year-round with extended hours during summer, offering single tickets at £2.00 and return journeys at £3.00 for passengers.
The locomotive Firefly, built in 1936 and transformed from a pannier tank to a tender locomotive, served the railway continuously from 1948 to 1984.
