Kerr's Miniature Railway 10 ¼ inch

Scotland's oldest miniature railway ran its first train at Arbroath in 1935. Since then, nearly two million people have enjoyed a ride along the quarter mile track on the seafront. Trains run from West Links Station and run down an almost straight track through a tunnel until you reach Hospitalfield Halt where trains reverse. Matthew Kerr Junior and Senior both have run the line and brought the railway up to where it is now, with superb buildings and locomotives. Jill Kerr, wife of the late Matthew Kerr Jnr, now runs the railway. Trains are Steam Hauled (if sufficent number of staff) at Weekends and Diesels at other times.
