The Coalyard Miniature Railway is a 7¼" gauge passenger carrying railway running parallel to the SVR main line at [[Kidderminster | Kidderminster Station]] for approximately 500 yards from the station itself to the adjacent car park. It operates on most weekends when the SVR is open.
Originally built in 1988 to dual 5" & 3&frac12;" gauge, it was relaid to 7&frac14;" gauge in 1990. The railway was partly relaid to dual 7&frac14;" & 5" gauge in 1996, reverting back to single 7&frac14;" gauge a couple of years later<br>
The railway takes its name from the coal yard which operated alongside Kidderminster Station until 2004.
