An online guide to one of the finest industrial railway collections in the British Isles

Steam railways have a following throughout the world and while many people are fascinated by the speed and power of the mainline locomotive, there are also many enthusiasts who enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of the industrial railway. One of the best places to experience the genuine industrial railway of the past is at the Foxfield Railway, near Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, where a variety of locomotives, rolling stock and other items have been preserved and restored by volunteers since 1967.

These pages describe Foxfield's collection for enthusiasts, historians, model-makers, and hopefully future visitors or old friends who share a passion for preserving part of Britain's vanishing industrial heritage.
