Yaxham Light Railway

The 2ft gauge Yaxham Light Railway is situated alongside the former GER Yaxham Station on the Dereham to Wymondham Line, on which regular trains are operated by the Mid Norfolk Railway Preservation Trust.

Yaxham Light Railway operates an interesting collection of industrial railway equipment acquired over the years from quarries and other locations throughout the country.

Passenger trains are usually hauled by a variety of vintage diesel locomotives. In addition the YLR owns two steam locomotives, see rolling stock for further details and photographs.

A recent arrival to the railway is the steam locomotive  “Kidbrooke” a WG Bagnall 0-4-0ST, owned by Paul Hemnell
