- The Torry Hill railway is 9” gauge, in Kent, mostly built in the early 1930s, with additions in the 1950s.
It's one of the most private lines in the country. No public access. You cannot see it from any publicly accessible land. I was able to visit with the Heywood Society. The locomotives are kept off-site.
Miniature Railway magazine carried a very detailed account of the line in issue No. 8 (miniature-railway.com/). There are lots of published photos and videos on RUclips so I've added mine.
It is a classic private miniature railway, and partly because it's never been open to the public it is pretty much the same as it was 90 or so years ago.

An important fact about railways is that they are the least intrusive incursions into the natural environment.
A hidden treasure! - thanks for posting.
Fabulous.
Я всю жизнь на железке с детства так как родители железнодорожники Паровозы живыми застал
Такие чудеса только инете увидишь Такие игрушки могут позволить себе только очень богатые и шизанутые на железке мужики Здоровья и добра им
brilliant railway and i love Viaduct
Beautifullllll
Nice long ride but it seems a shame to keep something like this totally private.
That's the shorter journey!
Bullheaded railway track and someone has put an awful lot of work into that railway.
How do you get to see it or invited on it
The only way I know is to belong to a group or club which is able to arrange a visit. I mentioned the Heywood Society, here is the address: www.theheywoodsociety.co.uk/
I've heard of it before in books when I was a kid. I hgeard they cant get the insurance for the public andcan see why the health & safety nazis will complain about the carriages over the narrow viaduct LOL.
