A RARE opportunity to purchase an established 10¼in gauge working railway has emerged following the decision of the owner to retire.
The Leek and Rudyard Railway lies in the North Staffordshire Peak District and runs for 1½ miles along the former North Staffs line between Leek and North Rode Junction.
The asking price for the railway is £495,000 and this includes the track, three stations, an engine shed, cafe, two steam engines, two diesel engines and 10 passenger coaches. The railway also hosts some privately owned locos.
