Miniture Railway

[Kintyre Forum News]

Does anyone know what happened to the miniture railway that was donated to the town a few years ago? Did the group formed to reinstate it fold?

Hi,

The miniature railway is currently in storage. A charity was formed in 2009 called the Campbeltown Railway Trust (CRT), Scottish Charity Number 040545. There are only a few people who have expressed an interest in helping but the group is still in existence and would appreciate more volunteers.

The plans to site the railway in Campbeltown on the front have fallen through. CRT have put a proposal to the Machrihanish Airbase Community Company and are thinking of siting the railway somewhere on the Airbase. If this is feesible then we will hopefully become more active and look at doing some fundraising.
