Welcome to the British Miniature Locomotive Database

This website is the logical continuation of a long-standing archive held by the late Dave Holroyde and now by Nigel Mundy, listing and providing details about miniature locomotives in the British Isles.

The aim is to build up a comprehensive and accurate archive of information about these interesting locomotives, to be useful for historians, future owners, and railway enthusiasts.

This site reproduces much of the data contained in the publications Miniature Steam Railways in the British Isles and 7 1/4" (184mm) etc. Gauge Miniature Steam Locomotives in the British Isles, both compiled by Nigel Mundy who is also involved with this project. The initial source was the 2017 editions of these booklets, plus errata and corrections made since they were published.
