Statfold Barn Railway

3rd June 2006

A few miles east of Tamworth is the Statfold Barn Railway. It is a private railway, with visits by invitation only.

The railway consists of a newly developed dual narrow gauge line of both 2ft and 2ft 6in , and 1.5 miles in length around land owned by Graham Lee, chairman of specialist engineering firm L H Plant.

All of the facilities at the railway have been built on land owned by Mr Lee, to create one of the most impressive private railways in the country. With a station, three-road loco shed with pit and crane, a fully equipped workshop, traverser, and turntable.

At one end of the operating line is a loop to turn the trains. In addition there is another 2ft gauge around a lake in the grounds of the sprawling farmhouse. Next step is the construction of a standard gauge line.

It is the ultimate garden railway.
