Haigh Railway - Miniature Railway World

Haigh Railway 15 inch

The Haigh Hall Railway first opened in July 1986 and runs in the grounds of Haigh Hall Country Park for 1 mile. The circuit passes through Woodland on most of its journey. There are two stations ‘Haigh Hall South’ which is the main station which has a passing loop and a three road engine shed and ‘Haigh Hall North’. “Katie” the 2-4-2 Guest built formerly of Dudley Zoo and Fairbourne fame, ran here for a few years when the railway first opened. The railway now operates using an ‘Alan Keef’ steam outline locomotive and ‘Alan Keef’ coaches. There is also the ex-Fairbourne Railway diesel ‘Rachel’ which is used as standby locomotive.
