Moseley Railway Trust

From TrainSpottingWorld, for Rail fans everywhere

The Moseley Railway Trust is a major British collection of industrial narrow gauge locomotives and other equipment. It has its base in south Manchester.

The Trust's collection has been storage since 1998 having been forced to vacate its site at Cheadle, near Manchester, where it operated a two foot gauge railway (the Moseley Tramway), using the Museum's collection of ex-industrial locomotives. The Trust's aim is to locate a permanent site where it can build a museum and a railway to display its collection of industrial narrow gauge equipment that has been gathered from various industries around the UK in the last 30 years.

The Trust has two steam locomotives - "Stanhope" a Kerr Stuart Tattoo class 0-4-2ST locomotive from 1917 and an 0-6-0T Kerr Stuart locomotive from the WW1 trench railways in France, currently under restoration.

The Trust currently has a small number of other locomotives on display at Apedale Heritage Centre, Newcastle-under-Lyme and should in time relocate its collection to this site.
