Description

The Stapleford Miniature Railway is unique to the Stapleford Estate. It first opened on the 18th May 1958, with the line just running from the Stables to the Hall. The then 2nd Lord Gretton was looking for an additional attraction for families to the Stately Home and Grounds. With nearly two miles of scenic track, the one-fifth-scale SMR is home to the East African 31 class 2-8-4 oil-burning loco, superb scale British LMS Jubilee, GWR Saint, the mighty NYC Niagara and NKP Berkshire American locos, as well as the Curwen Warship Diesel and Curwen Atlantic.

The railway opens only on specified dates to the public; at all other times, it is closed.
