Basildon Miniature Railway has been delighting visitors of all ages since 1988. Recently reopened after 6 years of abandonment and then an extensive restoration

 

Tucked away in the heart of Wat Tyler Country Park, we operate on a 10¼ inch gauge line, offering an authentic railway experience in miniature form.

​

Run entirely by a dedicated team of volunteers, our railway is more than just a train ride – it’s a community project that celebrates engineering, teamwork, and a love of railways.

 

We maintain and operate a variety of locomotives, giving passengers the chance to enjoy the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of a real working railway on a smaller scale.

​

Whether you’re joining us for a family day out, a special event, or simply to enjoy a ride through the park, we aim to create memories that last a lifetime.

 

Our volunteers are always on hand to share their passion, answer questions, and welcome new members who’d like to get involved.

Come along, take a ride, and discover the charm of Basildon Miniature Railway – where big railway fun comes in small size!
