Don't miss your free* ride on our Miniature Railway, a real favourite with all members of the family - from young to old.

Constructed in 1992, the 600 yard track covers the whole length of the site and takes visitors from Crewe Old Works Station through the 30 yard tunnel to Forge End, where the train reverses, and then onto Midge Bridge where visitors can alight and visit the North Junction Signal Box.

Watch out for the prototype tilting train, the Advanced Passenger Train, as the miniature railway takes visitors alongside the West Coast Main Line.

The miniature railway has two diesel locomotives, one battery powered locomotive and one steam locomotive - Jenny.

Trains operate every 30 minutes, commencing at 10:00 with the last train at 16:00. The journey time is 15 minutes.

* one free ride per visitor is included with admission to the site. Further rides are available and tickets should be purchased from the ticket office before travel.

We are also looking to increase our home fleet of miniature locomotives so if you are interested in housing your miniature locomotive at the Crewe Heritage Centre, please get in contact using the Contact Us page.

Crewe Heritage Centre also features a number of model railway layouts, notably a number of 'HO' scale layouts based on the U.S.A. These are located in the North Junction signalbox.
