Overview
Until 2007, the Trust's collection had 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. During 2007, the collection was swelled by the amalgamation of many items from the former Cadeby Rectory Railway which arrived directly to the Apedale site.
Construction of the first phase of the Trust's major museum & railway project at the Apedale Country Park adjacent to the existing Apedale Heritage Centre is now complete, with the first passengers being carried during the latter half of the 2010 Season. Also due for construction is a significant museum and separate non-passenger railway to display its collection of industrial narrow gauge equipment that has been gathered from various industries around the UK over the last 30 years. Please watch the The Moseley Railway Trust website for the latest developments!
The new railway is called the Apedale Valley Light Railway (AVLR), being operated by the Moseley Railway Trust.
