This week (2nd-8th March)

It’s a Work Weekend!

The fifth of the Winter Work Weekends is this weekend – meet at Sittingbourne Viaduct Station at 10am. Either a Works Train or car will take you Kemsley Down, where the work is taking place. Everyone’s welcome – lunch will be provided.

We have lots to do ahead of reopening for the Season – there’s locos & coaches to maintain and, in some cases, rebuild, maintenance across the site, track work and overgrowth clearance.

If you’re interested in helping with the 5-inch gauge miniature railway, please email sales@sklr.net for all other work enquiries email info@sklr.net or click here.
