Chinnor Miniature Railway


Chinnor and Princes Risborough Railway has begun its long-time wish of having a miniature Railway.

Why? you may ask.... Well for a number of reasons
  • The heritage railway sector as a whole is finding it harder and harder to find volunteers, what is a better way to get the next generation of volunteers? To have the youngsters of today learn how to run and maintain a small railway, ready to move up to the large railway once of age.
  • Get the local community out and mixing, and get the kids away from the screens.
  • help those with special educational needs and disabilities to mix, make friends, and learn life skills.
  • To teach and pass on dying trades.
How would we do this?
So far we have various grants mostly from the local area that has helped to fund various small bits and bobs but we expect we need to raise most of the funds ourselves this gofundme is one of the ways. We plan to build a layout around our car park of roughly 300 meters route length.

The layout will be both 5" and 7.25" gauge running both Steam and diesel Locos and will be open to the public most running days the full-size railway is open. There will be two picnic areas in the layout for a choice of views, which one would you pick? the picnic area overlooking the old quarry and the lakes there within OR sit down and watch the crews water the locos or are they lighting the fire? maybe they are just oiling up and getting ready to go. In both picnic areas there will be interactive learning information boards teaching how things work.
