The '''Coalyard Miniature Railway''' is a miniature passenger carrying railway operating within the [[Kidderminster | Kidderminster Town station]] site. It takes its name from the coal yard which operated alongside the station until 2004.
It is operated by the [[Coalyard Miniature Railway Model Engineering Society]] on most weekends when the SVR is running trains. There is a small charge.
It supports the work of the [[SVR Apprentices | Junior Club]], providing activities and training in railway operation.<ref>[https://www.svrlive.com/blnov22 Branch Lines, November 2022] (Retrieved 19 November 2022)</ref>
On 20 January 2019 it was the only passenger carrying railway open in Kidderminster as the SVR was closed for its winter period and West Midlands Railway were not running through Kidderminster due to late running engineering work.<ref name=FB>[https://www.facebook.com/CoalyardMiniatureRailway/ Coalyard Miniature Railway Facebook page]</ref>
In 2022 the Coalyard railway planted 15 trees in its embankment to help offset its carbon emissions.<ref name=FB/>
