Welcome to The Fancott Miniature Railway
The Oldest Miniature Railway located on the grounds of a Public House, The Fancott Miniature Railway (FMR) is a 7¼ inch miniature railway located in the gardens of The Fancott Public House near Toddington, Bedfordshire. There has been a railways on the grounds of The Fancott Pub for over 30 years in one form or another.
Two amazing things happened today:
After lots of hard work and lots of support from our wonderful visitors (some of whom ran half and full marathons for us!), we finally took charge of our fantastic wheelchair accessible carriage!! 👏 We’re so proud to be able to offer even more visitors the chance to ride our little trains! Keep an eye open for updates on when the carriage will be commissioned for service! 😃
The second amazing thing to happen today is a cheque was handed to FMR for £500! 👏 This was presented by Bob Curzon from the Provincial Grand Lodge of Bedfordshire, along with Simon Barter and Steve Joyce, and will support us as we continue fundraising for the points and track needed to take our new carriage to it’s shed! Please share and spread the good news! If you’d like to donate anything at all to our cause, the link to our GoFundMe site is pinned to the top of our FB page! Thank you everyone who’s contributed and supported the project so far! 👏 🎊👏🎊👏
Absolutely brilliant! Well done!
Great news well done everyone 👏❤
