Coalyard Miniature Railway
Introduction The '''Coalyard Miniature Railway''', opened in 1988, and relaid in 1990 as a  gauge railway, operates in the grounds of the Severn Valley Railway’s Kidderminster Town Station.
History The railway started as  of dual gauge track comprising  gauge rails laid within  gauge rails, to permit operation of both a  King Class Locomotive and a  Hall class locomotive. The track was unusual in being constructed of continuously welded rails.In 1990 a new  gauge aluminium track was laid and then gradually extended until it reached the far end of the Kidderminster Town Station car park. The original line was then removed, making space for a new footpath from the Severn Valley Railway car park to the station. The line originally used wooden sleepers but when these wore out they were replaced with plastic sleepers.The Railway is  long and runs alongside the Severn Valley Railway platforms and past the water column, where one can see many of the Severn Valley's fleet of locomotives.
