Welcome to 'England's Friendly Little Line'. We are Bedfordshire's premier heritage railway attraction, running trains along our three-mile line up to five times a week from March to October, with Santa Specials in December. The Leighton Buzzard Railway is one of the last survivors of the hundreds of 2 foot (610mm) gauge light railways built in Britain for industrial use. It is believed to be the only remaining line which owed its existence to the ready availability of surplus materials and equipment from the First World War battlefield supply lines.
Pendon Museum is many things; it displays the countryside buildings and transport of the 1930s Vale of White Horse and Dartmoor, all in meticulously modelled 4mm scale EM Gauge. It’s a lovely afternoon out for a family trip even if they are not interested in trains particularly, but like to see something different. And for many, it’s the ultimate model railway to watch the trains go by. Come and visit our website for much, much more.
