About us
The North Weald & District Miniature Railway (NWDMR) is a
7 1/4" gauge miniature railway based in the grounds at the Harlow Garden Centre in Essex. Owned by North Weald & District Miniature Railway Holdings LTD, Maintained and operated by volunteers, meaning we are totally separate to the garden centre. We operate a variety of trains including both steam and diesel electric and petrol hauled services all year on selected days and then Special Events including Christmas Specials in December.
The Railway is located at the Harlow Garden Centre on junction 7 of the M11 motorway. Construction of the line began in Spring 2019 and the first trains ran in September 2019. And since then its been extended to the nearly mile long run that it is now, all of which all is thanks to our customers that we have carried since we opened, this has allowed us to do this and constantly improve!
