Breaking News: Planning Permission GRANTED

We are excited to announce that planning permission has been granted by the London Borough of Bexley for "the installation of a Narrow Gauge Railway and modifications to an existing building for use as depot facilities for the railway".
Ref no. 16/02241/FUL

Ahead of us we have a major fundraising challenge to cover the purchase of track materials including 1400 metres of rail, 600 timber sleepers, drive screws, fishplates, and the track bed preparation and ballast, before the track laying can commence.

We need to recruit able volunteers for the exciting and challenging task of constructing a new build 18 inch narrow gauge railway, so close to the track of the iconic Royal Arsenal Railway.

Railway volunteers are at Crossness Engines Trust in Abbey Wood, South East London, on Tuesdays and Fridays.  Come and see us.

Come See Us on Sunday 30 April!
