The Hampshire Narrow Gauge Railway Society was founded some forty-five years ago with the aim of establishing a public narrow gauge railway in Hampshire, and later evolved into an equipment operating group. In October 2006 it was incorporated into the Hampshire Narrow Gauge Railway Trust, an important milestone which will lead to further developments. With bases for its operations at the Bursledon Brickworks Museum in Hampshire in the south of England and the Kew Bridge Steam Museum in West London, the Trust conserves and operates narrow gauge equipment dating back to the end of the nineteenth century.
At Bursledon Brickworks, efforts are focused on the once widespread narrow gauge railway in industry. Here the Society's two petrol locomotives are kept, and see regular use both for work on the re-creation of a narrow gauge railway and for demonstrations to visitors.
The Society's Hunslet steam locomotive is used to haul passenger trains providing an additional visitor attraction to the world famous collection of stationary steam engines at the Kew Bridge Steam Museum.
Currently our Bagnall steam locomotive can be seen working at Amberley Chalk Pits Museum, a working museum dedicated to the industrial heritage of South East England.
