THE KINGDOM OF FIFE RAILWAY PRESERVATION SOCIETY

The Fife Heritage Railway (FHR) (the trading name of The Kingdom of Fife Railway Preservation Society (KFRPS)) was established over 30 years ago and has evolved steadily ever since, tracing its origins to the Lochty Private Railway. The Society operates and maintains preserved railway items formerly used on the Lochty Railway and keeps and gathers historical information about the railways in Fife and beyond. The FHR collects, safeguards and makes accessible its collection of railway locos, rolling stock, artefacts and other items, whilst operating a heritage railway. The Society has constructed a number of sidings, a well-equipped workshop, a restoration shed and operates a half mile running line. The Kingdom of Fife Railway Preservation Society was formed to safeguard the Lochty Private Railway stock and find a new home. The group then became incorporated as The Kingdom of Fife Railway Preservation Society (KFRPS), but now uses the operating name of “Fife Heritage Railway”. The FHR works closely with the Scottish Railway Preservation Society (SRPS) and the Museum of Scottish Railways to help preserve Scotland's railway heritage.
