	Narrow Gauge Heaven: information on UK and worldwide narrow gauge railways
		Yet the KLR is deserving of a place high in the league tables of fifteen-inch gauge railways.
		Whilst Brian Taylor still owns the railway he has tended to take a back seat in recent years and the operating and continued development that takes place is very much a combined effort between the permanent KLR staff and its small band of loyal volunteers.
		The KLR is well worth visiting, after all where else can you travel behind a Meyer or Heisler locomotive in Britain, and the sheer thrill of a medium sized fifteen inch gauge locomotive bucketing along at fifteen miles an hour up through the darkness of Shelley Woodhouse tunnel is a treat to behold.
