Welcome to the S&CR
The S&CR is entirely built, run and managed by volunteers. It was one of the first heritage railways to undertake the complete reconstruction of a standard-gauge railway with no legacy of track or buildings.
Blunsdon is the main 'visitor centre', with car parking, Whistle Stop Cafe, picnic area, shop etc., while Hayes Knoll gives visitors the opportunity to see various restoration projects progressing in the engine shed.
Thank You!
We would like to thank everyone who donated to our recent Wagon Appeal Fund. Your donations helped us improve our wagon fleet on the railway.
All donations to help improve the railway are still gratefully received.

Motive Power
Motive power is provided by Steam or Diesel locomotives as available.
Diesels in our home fleet include examples of ex-BR Classes 03, Class 08 and a Class 119 DMU, plus industrials.
The arrival of the steam locomotive Lady Lisa brings an unusual piece of continental European railway history to the S&CR. This type of locomotive often performed essential industrial work. She will be rostered for some public service trains during our Autumn and Winter 2026 season.
