Num: SC 020254. Established in 1992, the Kingdom of Fife Railway Preservation Society is a registered charity which is run entirely by unpaid volunteers. Our aim is to preserve Fife’s railway heritage. We own a 21 acre former railway marshaling yard and have constructed half a mile of track plus substantial sidings. Our restoration work is conducted in the “Colin Munro” shed which is well equipped

with engineering machinery and work space. As a heritage railway, we are open to visitors on selected days and provide trips along the line pulled by one of our restored locomotives. We always welcome people wanting to get involved, be it rebuilding locomotives, providing refreshments or even joining as a non-working member, everyone is welcome!

We were delighted to host another group visit yesterday, this time by a class from Denbeath PS. The children enjoyed a behind the scenes tour followed by a trip on our vintage train.

Can you help?
Here at the FHR we have a small fleet of diesel locomotives along with 'Forth' our centenarian steam engine. We also have several items of plant. All of these vehicles require regular repair and maintenance but we are struggling to keep the wheels turning due to lack of suitably qualified volunteers.
If you are a qualified or experienced steam and/or diesel fitter, or a plant operator mechanic (POM), we could do with your help!
If you are willing to volunteer with us please get in touch. If you know anyone who might be able to help please pass this on.
Thank you.

We're all set for tomorrow's party to celebrate the Centenary of our steam engine, "Forth". Although she won't be in steam due to a technical issue, she will be on static display at the station where you can get up close and personal! You will even be able to get on the footplate and find out what it is like to be a driver and fireman. Our volunteers will be on hand to tell you about Forth and how a steam engine works.
Diesel hauled trains will be running and there will be lots of other attractions, including guided tours.
