Kerr's Miniature Railway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kerr's Miniature Railway is a 10ΒΌ inch gauge railway situated adjacent to the east coast mainline railway to Aberdeen, in West Links Park Arbroath. It is the oldest miniature railway in Scotland, having first opened for business in 1935. Under its original owner, Matthew Kerr (senior), it was a commercial business but since 1979 when it passed to his son, Matt Kerr, it has been run as a non-profit concern by Matt with the help of a small group of volunteers.
With the death of Matthew Kerr, owner of Kerr's Miniature Railway, on 17 April 2006 after a prolonged illness, the future of the railway is uncertain.
