Fancott Miniature Railway

The Fancott Miniature Railway is a gauge railway located in the gardens of the Fancott public house in Fancott, Bedfordshire, England. The track is laid in an oval with a triangular junction giving access to the station and with a separate steaming bay inside the oval. There is also a short line off towards a container used as a carriage shed, and a tunnel which contains a short siding for the railway's wagons. The FMR is part of Britain's Great Little Railways.

History

The railway was opened in 1975. In 2015, the pub suffered a fire that damaged the engine sheds, locomotives and carriages. The sheds have since been restored and the rolling stock replaced., the Fancott Miniature Railway was believed to be the only miniature railroad on a pub ground in Britain. However, in 2019 another 7¼" gauge railway opened at the Holly Tree, Forest Gate, London E7, following a refurbishment.
