Scottish Industrial Railway Centre
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Scottish Industrial Railway Centre is a museum operated by the Ayrshire Railway Preservation Group. The centre owns a number of standard gauge steam and diesel locomotives and an extensive collection of photographs.
The centre was based at the former Minnivey Colliery (grid reference NS474072), Dalmellington, East Ayrshire, Scotland, from 1980 but, following problems with the lease, the Group decided in 2002 to move the centre to the nearby Dunaskin Heritage Centre(NS441083).
During 2005 council funding was withdrawn from the Heritage Centre causing it to close, but the railway was still able to start running steam hauled rides at the Dunaskin site, using a borrowed locomotive. Some rolling stock remains at Minnivey.
