- Downs_Light_Railway abstract "The Downs Light Railway is the world's oldest private miniature railway, with a track gauge of 9½ inches. The Railway is located within the private grounds of The Downs School (Colwall, Malvern, Worcestershire). The railway was built and opened in 1925 by Geoffrey Hoyland (Headmaster) as a 7 1⁄4 in (184 mm) gauge railway, for the principal purpose of education. The railway was regauged during the 1930s to the larger gauge of 9 1⁄2 in (241 mm), to allow for new locos to be used on the line. After Geoffrey Hoyland left the school, the railway was allowed to deteriorate until it became unsafe to use by the late 1960s.During the 1970s, restoration work began by former pupils of the school, most notably James Boyd. In 1983, the railway was handed over to the Downs Light Railway Trust, who became responsible for its ownership, preservation and operation. The Downs Light Railway stands to be the only railway to be operated by Children aged between 7 and 13 years, as an educational extra-curricular activity.".
