Thorne Memorial Park Miniature Railway, Rideable miniature railway in Thorne Memorial Park, South Yorkshire.

The Thorne Memorial Park Miniature Railway operates on two loops within the park, featuring both 7.25-inch and 5-inch gauge tracks for passenger rides.

The railway started operations in July 1998 with a 600-foot dual-gauge loop, following the society's relocation from their original site at Doncaster Plant Works.

The railway maintains a collection of locomotives, including the red steam locomotive Koppel from 1985 and multiple crimson lake red bogie passenger coaches.

Visitors can experience train rides every Sunday from Easter through October, with regular operating hours between 11:30 AM and 3:00 PM.

A World War II air raid shelter serves as the locomotive depot, providing essential storage space with convenient access to power and water supplies.
