Stainmore Railway Company Ltd
Ride on a train but if we are not operating trains there is plenty to see and do at KSE with a small exhibits museum, education room, children's play area and a wide range of locomotives and rolling stock to see.

Our well stocked shop has a large range of items including Bachmann, Graham Farrish, Peco, Countryside books, Gibsons puzzles and gifts for children and adults of all ages. With advanced notice we can arrange guided tours for groups tailored to your needs

Kirkby Stephen is over 1000 feet above sea level and in the North Pennines. The weather can be challenging in winter and sometimes our volunteers cannot get over to open up the site.

The site was purchased by Stainmore Properties Ltd after it had been used as a bobbin factory and Stainmore Railway Company volunteers have worked over the years to develop a Heritage Centre and an operational railway which welcomes visitors at weekends.

Admission:
Admission is free but charges apply for train rides and some events.   

We are open on Saturdays and Sundays  (excluding Christmas  and New Year) from 10am - 4pm with a number of operational days from Easter  - August at which we run steam/diesel - hauled passenger trains. Light refreshments can be purchased from our LNER buffet car from Easter - December which is open from 10am - 3:30pm at weekends.
