About Our Railway
Opening in 2025, the Severn Beach Miniature Railway is set to bring back a slice of history while creating an exciting new attraction for families, railway enthusiasts, and visitors of all ages. Decades ago, Severn Beach was home to a beloved miniature railway that delighted generations of locals and visitors alike. While that railway is no longer in operation, we are thrilled to rekindle its spirit and create a modern experience that honors its legacy.
Nestled in the picturesque coastal village of Severn Beach, this new railway will offer scenic train rides, family-friendly play areas, and plenty of opportunities to relax and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Our mission is to create a unique destination that combines nostalgia, education, and fun while celebrating the charm of miniature railways.
Whether you’re a local eager to reconnect with a cherished past or a traveler excited to explore something new, the Severn Beach Miniature Railway promises to be a must-visit destination. Stay tuned for updates as we bring this dream to life and let the magic of miniature railways live on!

This weekends Castle Coombe Steam Rally attracted so many people and even new volunteers. Several younger generations brought their parents so they could join up. One young confident chappy named Adam was so enthusiastic we offered him a ride in the locomotive. It was a jot to see his little face light up with excitement. He knew quite a few thi as about railways already and asked all the right questions.

Well we're now getting some cracking weather and like tures Brits people saying it's Too hot. Any it's great for getting paint to dry! I've just finished making up these GWR signal levers for one of my customers. I have enough levers in stock to make another 25 if anyone wants one. I weld them to a 10 mm thick steel base plate, Polish the handles then paint them. My customer will be so pleased when he collects them this evening. This is a great way to represent a signal box scene.
