Moseley Railway Trust
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Moseley Railway Trust is a major British collection of industrial narrow gauge locomotives and other equipment. It has its base in south Manchester.
The Trust's collection has been storage since 1998 having been forced to vacate its site at Cheadle, near Manchester, where it operated a two foot gauge railway (the Moseley Tramway), using the Museum's collection of ex-industrial locomotives. The collection has recently been swelled by the amalgamation of many items from the former Cadeby Rectory Railway.

The Trust has recently started construction of the first phase of a major museum & railway project at the Apedale Country Park, adjacent to the existing Apedale Heritage Centre. It is planned to construct a museum and a railway to display its collection of industrial narrow gauge equipment that has been gathered from various industries around the UK over the last 30 years.
The Trust has two steam locomotives - "Stanhope" a Kerr Stuart Tattoo class 0-4-2ST locomotive from 1917 and an 0-6-0T Kerr Stuart locomotive from the WW1 trench railways in France, currently under restoration.
The Trust currently has a small number of other locomotives on display at Apedale Heritage Centre, Newcastle-under-Lyme and should in time relocate its collection to this site.
